Verse 16
Exodus 16:16. An omer— In Exo 16:36 an omer is said to be the tenth part of an ephah. According to Bishop Cumberland, the ephah contains seven gallons, two quarts, and about half a pint in wine measure; so that an omer was about three quarts, or a little more probably than six pounds weight, Roman measure. This was the smallest measure of things dry, known by the ancient Hebrews. The homer, mentioned Lev 27:16 was a different measure from this.
