People's NT Commentary

Measures of Liquids
  • The Cor, or Chomer, seventy-five gallons and somewhat above five pints.
  • The Bath, the tenth of the chomer, or seven gallons and four pints and and a half.
  • The Hin, sixtieth of a chomer, about a gallon and a quart.
  • The Log, about three-fourths of a pint.
  • The Firkin (Metretes), somewhat more than seven pints.

Measures of Dry Things
  • The Cab, somewhat above two pints.
  • The Omer, above five pints.
  • The Seah, one peck and about half a pint.
  • The Ephah, three pecks and about three pints.
  • The Letech, about four bushels.
  • The Homer, about eight bushels.
  • The Choenix (Rev.6:6) was the daily allowance to maintain a slave. It contained about a quart, some say only a pint and a half. When this measure was sold for a denarius, or Roman penny, corn must have been above twenty shillings an English bushel, which indicates a scarcity next to famine.
