Ezekiel 45:9-10

 

יחזקאל מה:ט-י

Original Text:

כֹּה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי ה' רַב לָכֶם נְשִׂיאֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל חָמָס וָשֹׁד הָסִירוּ וּמִשְׁפָּט וּצְדָקָה עֲשׂוּ הָרִימוּ גְרֻשֹׁתֵיכֶם מֵעַל עַמִּי נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי ה': מֹאזְנֵי צֶדֶק וְאֵיפַת צֶדֶק וּבַת צֶדֶק יְהִי לָכֶם:

Translation:

Thus said Adonai, God: Enough, princes of Israel! Make an end of violence and oppression, and do what is right and just! Put a stop to your evictions of My people -- declares Adonai, God. Have just balances, a just ephah (unit of dry measure), and a just bath (unit of liquid measure).
[AJWS translation]

Suggested Discussion Questions:

1. What is God's condemnation of the Jewish community?
2. Do we live in a fair and just society today? How can we create more fair practices?
