Leviticus 27:16
Redemption of Vowed Fields
27:16 “‘If a man consecrates to the Lord some of his own landed property, the conversion value must be calculated in accordance with the amount of seed needed to sow it, a homer of barley seed being priced at fifty shekels of silver.
Ezekiel 45:10-11
45:10 You must use just balances,
a just dry measure (an ephah),
and a just liquid measure (a bath).
45:11 The dry and liquid measures will be the same, the bath will contain a tenth of a homer,
and the ephah a tenth of a homer; the homer will be the standard measure.
Joel 1:17
1:17 The grains of seed have shriveled beneath their shovels.
Storehouses have been decimated
and granaries have been torn down, for the grain has dried up.
Haggai 1:9-11
1:9 ‘You expected a large harvest, but instead
there was little, and when you brought it home it disappeared right away.
Why?’ asks the
Lord who rules over all. ‘Because my temple remains in ruins, thanks to each of you favoring his own house!
1:10 This is why the sky
has held back its dew and the earth its produce.
1:11 Moreover, I have called for a drought that will affect the fields, the hill country, the grain, new wine, fresh olive oil, and everything that grows from the ground; it also will harm people, animals, and everything they produce.’”
