10 You Israelis must use accurate scales and measuring containers.[ref] 11 The baskets for measuring dry things and containers for measuring liquids (called an ‘efah’ for dry things and a ‘bath’ for liquids, both a tenth of the large 220 litre ‘homer’) must be the same volume—each must hold twenty-two litres. 12 For weights, the shekel weight must be ten grams. (Twenty ‘gerahs’ makes one shekel, then sixty shekels makes one ‘mina’.)

13 You Israelis must present to the leader one measure of wheat or barley for every sixty measures that you harvest, 14 one measure of olive oil for every one hundred measures that you produce, 15 plus one sheep or goat from the flock for every two hundred animals from the watered regions of Yisrael, to be used for any burnt offering or peace offering to make atonement for the people. That’s the master Yahweh’s declaration.

16 All the people in the country will give that contribution to Yisrael’s leader. 17 It’ll be the leader’s responsibility to supply the animals for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the drink offerings at the festivals and the new moon celebrations, and on the rest days—all the Israeli people’s scheduled festivals. He’ll provide for the sin offerings, the grain offerings, the burnt offerings, and the peace offerings to make the Israeli people right with God.
