Ezekiel 45:9-17 - Rules For The Prince

9 This is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'I have had enough of you, you princes of Israel.' 'Stop your violence and looting, and do what is fair and right. Stop evicting my people,' declares the Lord Jehovah. 10 You must have honest scales and honest dry and liquid measures. 11 The dry and liquid measures must always be the same: The ephah and the bath should hold the same as one-tenth of a homer. The homer must be the standard measure. 12 One shekel must weigh twenty gerahs. One mina must weigh sixty shekels.'

13 This is the contribution you must give to Jehovah: seventeen percent of your wheat and seventeen percent of your barley. 14 You must give one percent of your olive oil using the standard measure. 15 You must take one sheep out of every two hundred from the well-watered pastures of Israel. You must sacrifice them with grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings to make peace with Jehovah,' declares the Lord Jehovah. 16 All the common people must give this contribution to the prince in Israel. 17 Then the prince is responsible to provide burnt offerings, grain offerings, and wine offerings at the annual festivals, the New Moon Festivals, the weekly days of worship, and all the other appointed festivals of the nation of Israel. He must prepare offerings for sin, grain offerings, burnt offerings, and fellowship offerings to pay compensation for wrongdoing and make peace with Jehovah for the nation of Israel.
