Context of Ezekiel 45:10
8It will be land for him as a possession in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress My people. They will give land to the house of Israel according to their tribes.” 9Thus says Adonai Elohim: “Let it be enough for you, princes of Israel. Get rid of violence and destruction, execute justice and righteousness, take away your oppression from My people”—it is a declaration of Adonai. “You are to have just balances, an honest dry measure and an honest liquid measure. 11The dry and liquid measure will be of a uniform measure: the bath will contain a tenth part of a homer, and the ephah a tenth part of a homer; the standard measure will be the homer. 12The shekel will be 20 gerahs; 20 plus 25 plus 15 shekels will be your mina.
