Ezekiel 45:12

"The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain one tenth of a homer, and the ephah one tenth of a homer. Its measure shall be the same as the homer."

Key Reflection

In Ezekiel 45:12-3, the ratio between the ephah and the bath is set to reflect an equitable and unified system of measurement, symbolizing harmony and consistency in both commerce and worship. This proportional relationship underscores a principle of fairness, which extends spiritually to the justice and order God desires among His people.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The shekel -See the marginal reference. The “maneh” shall be of true weight, but it would seem that in Ezekiel’s time there were “manehs” of different value.
