Ezekiel 45:9-17

9The Almighty Lord says this: Rulers of Israel, stop cheating my people and making them suffer! You have done enough bad things! Instead, do things that are right and fair. Stop chasing my people off their land. That is what the Almighty Lord says.

10You must use correct measures for size and for weight.

11The ephah that you use to measure dry things must be the same measure that you use for wet things. Ten ephahs will be equal to one homer.

1220 gerahs will be equal to one shekel. 60 shekels will be equal to one mina.

13This is the offering that you must give. Take from your harvest one homer from every 60 homers of wheat or barley.

14Take one litre of olive oil from every 100 litres.

15Take one sheep from every 200 sheep that feed on the grass in Israel. These gifts will be for grain offerings, for burnt offerings and for friendship offerings. These offerings will cause me to forgive you for your sins. I, the Almighty Lord, tell you to do this.

16All Israel's people must bring these offerings to the ruler of Israel.

17The ruler must provide the animals for the burnt offerings. He must provide the grain for the grain offerings and the wine for the wine offerings. He must provide these things for the holy festivals that I have chosen for Israel's people. Those include feasts for the new moon and for the Sabbath days. He must provide these things for the sin offerings, the grain offerings, the burnt offerings and the friendship offerings. They will cause me to forgive the sins of Israel's people.
