11<\/strong>. The homer is assumed as the standard both for liquid and dry measures. The ephah was a tenth of the homer, dry measure; and the bath a tenth of the homer, liquid measure, Isa 5:10<\/span>.<\/p>\n The ephah was in use for dry measure, the bath for liquid. The homer seems to have contained about 75 gallons (see Exo 29:40<\/span>, note; Lev 19:36<\/span>, note).<\/P> After the homer – <\/B>i. e., according to the standard of the homer.<\/P><\/p>\n One shall contain as much as the other, the ephah shall contain as many gallons of dry, as the bath doth contain of liquid things. <\/P> An homer<\/B> is commonly said to be thirty bushels, or near it. So that the ephah will be some three bushels, in dry things, and the bath sixty-four pints, or eight gallons, in liquid things. <\/P> <\/p>\n The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure<\/strong>,…. 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:<\/p>\n that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer<\/strong>; this “homer” must be carefully distinguished from another measure, called “omer”, written without an “h”, which was but the tenth part of an “ephah”, Ex 16:36<\/span>:<\/p>\n the measure thereof shall be after the homer<\/strong>: “as the homer was”, so should the ephah and bath be, just the tenth part of it.<\/p>\n (11) Shall be of one measure<\/strong>.The Ephah is first mentioned in Exo. 16:36<\/span>, and appears to be a word of Egyptian origin; it was used for dry measure. The Bath is not met with before 1Ki. 7:26<\/span>, and was the largest of the liquid measures in use. The statement that these were of the same capacity, and each equal to the tenth part of the Homer, is important in the comparison of the Hebrew dry and liquid measures, but it is exceedingly difficult to determine their absolute value. If we calculate on the estimates of Josephus, the Homer was 86, 696 English gallons; if on those of the Rabbinists, 42, 286. Modern estimates differ nearly as much. The Homer,<\/em> which was ten Ephahs, is to be carefully distinguished from the Omer,<\/em> which was the tenth part of an Ephah. The two words are quite different in Hebrew.<\/p>\n Eze 45:11 The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.<\/p>\n Ver. 11. The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure.<\/strong> ] Of the same capacity, only the ephah is the measure of dry things, and the bath of moist.<\/p>\n the tenth part. See the next note. homer. Hebrew. chomer: not to be confounded with ‘omer. The former contained ten ephahs; the latter was one-tenth of an ephah. Compare Exo 16:16. <\/p>\n 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. Isa 5:10 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Lev 27:16 – an homer Num 11:32 – homers Deu 25:13 – in thy bag Rth 2:17 – ephah Eze 45:14 – the tenth Hos 3:2 – an homer<\/p>\n Eze 45:11. The Lord not only commanded that just measurements should be used, but gave instructions about what would constitute such standards. Strong says that an ephah is “a measure in general.” It seems that some of the units of capacity were allowed to vary at different times and plaees, and that would give rise to questions as to justice in dealing with the people. The Lord put such disputes at rest by setting the standard for weights and measures. He ordained that whether the ephah or hath be used in a transaction ft should be the same capacity which was a tenth of a homer.<\/p>\n The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of a homer, and the ephah the tenth part of a homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer. 11.
