Ezekiel 45:12
v. 12: The shekel is defined clearly: it is worth twenty jerahs. This makes trading and business fair, because everyone knows what these weights and coins mean. The maneh (or pound) is made up of sixty shekels, using coins of twenty, twenty-five, and fifteen shekels to add up to one maneh (Ezekiel 45:13; 1 Kings 10:17 a; 2 Chronicles 9:16 b). This careful system prevents cheating or mistakes.
