Epha und Bat sollen gleiches Maß haben. Ein Bat soll den zehnten Teil eines Chomers fassen, und ein Epha soll der zehnte Teil eines Chomers sein; ihr Maß soll sich nach dem Chomer richten.
Epha und Bath sollen gleich sein, daß ein Bath den zehnten Teil vom Homer habe und das Epha den zehnten Teil vom Homer; denn nach dem Homer soll man sie beide messen.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
ephah: The ephah was a dry measure, and the bath a liquid measure, containing about seven gallons, four pints, or three pecks, three pints; and the homer about seventy-five gallons, five pints. Isaiah 5:10
Reciprocal: Leviticus 27:16 - an homer Numbers 11:32 - homers Deuteronomy 25:13 - in thy bag Ruth 2:17 - ephah Ezekiel 45:14 - the tenth Hosea 3:2 - an homer
Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The ephah was in use for dry measure, the bath for liquid. The homer seems to have contained about 75 gallons (see Exodus 29:40, note; Leviticus 19:36, note).
After the homer - i. e., according to the standard of the homer.
