And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. And he said, This is their form in all the earth.
You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin. I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Hear this, you who trample the poor, even to make the humble of the land to fail,
saying, When will the new moon be gone so that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small and the shekel great, and perverting the balances by deceit;
that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals; and sell the chaff of the wheat?
Are the treasures of wickedness still in the house of the wicked, and the short measure that is hateful?
And I will punish all those who leap on the threshold in that day, who fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
And behold, a lead cover was lifted up, and a woman was sitting in the middle of the ephah.
