[16:36]  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).

[45:11]  2 sn The homer was about 5 bushels as a dry measure and 55 gallons as a liquid measure.

[45:12]  3 tn Heb “twenty shekels, twenty-five shekels, fifteen shekels.”
