Exodus 16:36

16:36 (Now an omer is one tenth of an ephah.) ¹ 

Ezekiel 45:11-12

45:11 The dry and liquid measures will be the same, the bath will contain a tenth of a homer, ²  and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure. 45:12 The shekel will be twenty gerahs. Sixty shekels ³  will be a mina for you.

¹ tn The words “omer” and “ephah” are transliterated Hebrew words. The omer is mentioned only in this passage. (It is different from a “homer” [cf. Ezek 45:11-14].) An ephah was a dry measure whose capacity is uncertain: “Quotations given for the ephah vary from ca. 45 to 20 liters” (C. Houtman, Exodus, 2:340-41).

² sn The homer was about 5 bushels as a dry measure and 55 gallons as a liquid measure.

³ tn Heb “twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, fifteen shekels.”
