10 Use only honest weights and scales and honest measures, both dry and liquid.[a] 11 The homer[b] will be your standard unit for measuring volume. The ephah and the bath[c] will each measure one-tenth of a homer. 12 The standard unit for weight will be the silver shekel.[d] One shekel will consist of twenty gerahs, and sixty shekels will be equal to one mina.[e]

10 ‘You’re to use an honest scale, an honest dry measure,[a] and an honest liquid measure![b] 11 The ephah and the bath are to be of equal volume; that is, the bath is to contain one tenth of an omer and the ephah one tenth of an omer. The omer is to be the standard on which their volume measurement is to be based. 12 The shekel[c] is to weigh 20 gerahs.
