Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
shalt drink: Ezekiel 4:16, Isaiah 5:13, John 3:34
Reciprocal: Exodus 29:40 - hin Leviticus 23:13 - the fourth
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thou shall drink also water by measure,.... Not wine, but water; and this not as much as he would, but a certain measure; which shows great want of it, and expresses a very distressed condition see Lamentations 5:4;
the sixth part of an hin; a hin held twelve logs, or seventy two egg shells, or about three quarts of our measure; and the sixth part of one were two logs, or twelve egg shells, and about a pint of our measure; so that it was but a pint of water a day that the prophet was allowed, as a token of the great scarcity of it in the siege of Jerusalem:
from time to time shalt thou drink: as before.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Water by measure - This probably corresponds to the water of affliction 1 Kings 22:27; Isaiah 30:20. The measure of the hin is variously estimated by Jewish writers. The sixth part of a hin will be according to one estimate about 610ths, according to another 910ths of a pint. The lesser estimate is more suitable here.
