Ezekiel 45:10

Ye; princes of Israel. Shall have: though they were not traders to use, yet they must have, i.e. appoint, for to them as a privilege it appertains to appoint standards for measure among their subjects. Just balances, or weights and scales, by which to measure what is to he sold by weight, one and the same to all, that none buy by a greater and sell by a lesser. So Leviticus 19:35,36 Pr 11:1 16:11 Micah 6:10,11. So must the prince remove oppressive cheating by divers weights. Ephah, to measure dry things, as corn, olives, dates, &c. Bath: this was a measure of liquid things, as oil, wine, or water, and what each contained the next verse will acquaint us. s.
