Verse 11
The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure ,.... The one held as much of dry things as the other of liquor; which, according to Bishop Cumberland, were seven wine gallons, four pints, and a little more:
that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer ; this "homer" must be carefully distinguished from another measure, called "omer", written without an "h", which was but the tenth part of an "ephah", Exodus 16:36 ,
the measure thereof shall be after the homer : "as the homer was", so should the ephah and bath be, just the tenth part of it.
Be the first to react on this!
