Leviticus 24:5

24:5 “You must take choice wheat flour ¹  and bake twelve loaves; ²  there must be two tenths of an ephah of flour in ³  each loaf,

Leviticus 23:17

23:17 From the places where you live you must bring two loaves of ⁴  bread for a wave offering; they must be made from two tenths of an ephah of fine wheat flour, baked with yeast, ⁵  as first fruits to the Lord.

Leviticus 23:13

23:13 along with its grain offering, two tenths of an ephah of ⁶  choice wheat flour ⁷  mixed with olive oil, as a gift to the Lord, a soothing aroma, ⁸  and its drink offering, one fourth of a hin of wine. ⁹ 

¹ sn See the note on Lev 2:1.

² tn Heb “and bake it twelve loaves”; KJV, NAB, NASB “cakes.”

³ tn The words “of flour” are supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tc Smr, LXX, Syriac, Tg. Onq., and Tg. Ps.-J. insert the word חַלּוֹת (khallot, “loaves”; cf. Lev 2:4 and the note there). Even though “loaves” is not explicit in the MT, the number “two” suggests that these are discrete units, not just a measure of flour, so “loaves” should be assumed even in the MT.

⁵ tn Heb “with leaven.” The noun “leaven” is traditional in English versions (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV), but “yeast” is more commonly used today.

⁷ sn See the note on Lev 5:11.

⁸ sn See the note on Lev 2:1.

⁹ sn See the note on Lev 1:9.

¹⁰ tn Heb “wine, one fourth of the hin.” A pre-exilic hin is about 3.6 liters (= ca. 1 quart), so one fourth of a hin would be about one cup.
