Context of Ezekiel 45:12

10“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. The shekel will be 20 gerahs; 20 plus 25 plus 15 shekels will be your mina. 13“This is the offering that you are to set apart: a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of wheat, a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of barley, 14along with the set portion of oil—a bath of oil—as the tithe of the bath for each kor, which is ten baths (or a homer, since ten baths are a homer),
