Ezekiel 45:10Ye shall have Just balances.God requires just dealingsThat our consciences may be enlightened and set right, we want a standard, like the standard weights and measures that are kept in the Tower of London, to which all the people in the little country villages may send up their yard measures, and their pint pots, and their pound weights, and find out if they are just and true.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 45:10-11

10-11. The Israelitish merchants needed these injunctions. (Compare Leviticus 19:35-36; Deuteronomy 25:13-15; Micah 6:10-11; Amos 8:5.)

Coined money was certainly used... read more
