Honest Scales

Honest Scales

(Deuteronomy 25:13–16, Proverbs 11:1–3)


10You must use honest scales, a just ephah,[fn] and a just bath.[fn]


11The ephah and the bath shall be the same quantity so that the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure for both.[fn]


12The shekel will consist of twenty gerahs.[fn] Twenty shekels plus twenty-five shekels plus fifteen shekels will equal one mina.[fn]


45:10 An ephah is a dry measure of approximately 20 dry quarts or 22 liters.

45:10 A bath was a liquid measure of approximately 5.8 gallons or 22 liters.

45:11 A homer was a dry measure of approximately 6.24 bushels or 220 liters; also in verses 13 and 14.

45:12 20 gerahs is equivalent to one shekel (approximately 0.4 ounces or 11.4 grams).

45:12 That is, 60 shekels total; elsewhere, the common mina was 50 shekels. Sixty shekels weighed approximately 1.5 pounds or 683.8 grams.
