Isaiah 5:10

Indeed, a large vineyard ¹  will produce just a few gallons, ²  and enough seed to yield several bushels ³  will produce less than a bushel.” ⁴ 

A ten-acre vineyard will produce only a bath of wine, a homer of seed only an ephah of grain."

"For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one bath of wine, And a homer of seed will yield but an ephah of grain."

Ten acres of vineyard will not produce even six gallons of wine. Ten measures of seed will yield only one measure of grain."

A ten-acre vineyard will produce a pint of wine, a fifty-pound sack of seed, a quart of grain."

For ten fields of vines will only give one measure of wine, and a great amount of seed will only give a small measure of grain.

For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield a mere ephah.

For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah."

Indeed, a large vineyard ¹  will produce just a few gallons, ²  and enough seed to yield several bushels ³  will produce less than a bushel.” ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “a ten-yoke vineyard.” The Hebrew term צֶמֶד (tsemed, “yoke”) is here a unit of square measure. Apparently a ten-yoke vineyard covered the same amount of land it would take ten teams of oxen to plow in a certain period of time. The exact size is unknown.

² tn Heb “one bath.” A bath was a liquid measure. Estimates of its modern equivalent range from approximately six to twelve gallons.

³ tn Heb “a homer.” A homer was a dry measure, the exact size of which is debated. Cf. NCV “ten bushels”; CEV “five bushels.”

⁴ tn Heb “an ephah.” An ephah was a dry measure; there were ten ephahs in a homer. So this verse envisions major crop failure, where only one-tenth of the anticipated harvest is realized.
