Ezekiel 45:7-12

Ezekiel 45:7-12 TPT

“The prince will have land on both sides of the holy area and the city. West of the holy area and the city, his land will reach to the Mediterranean Sea. East of the holy area and the city, his land will reach to the eastern border of the country. It will correspond in length to the land given to each tribe. This will be the prince’s property in Israel. Then my leaders will no longer bully and oppress my people. They will permit the people of Israel to live peacefully and possess the rest of the country for its tribes.” Lord YAHWEH says this: “You have overstepped your bounds, you leaders of Israel! Stop your violence and oppression and start practicing justice and righteousness. I, Lord YAHWEH, say to you: Do what is right and just, and stop forcing people from their homes so that you can take their property. You must have accurate scales and a true standard of measurement for grains (known as an ephah) and for liquids (known as a bath). The measurement of an ephah and bath must be equal, and each will be one-tenth of a homer, the bath and the ephah one-tenth of a homer. The standard for measuring will be based on the homer. A shekel is to consist of twenty gerahs. A mina is to consist of sixty shekels.”
