Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for measures is not directly listed in Strong's, but related concepts of measure can be found in entries like G3358 (metron), which refers to a measure or measuring instrument. Usage: The term "ephah" refers to a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, approximately equivalent to 22 liters or about 5.8 gallons. It was commonly used for measuring grains and other dry commodities. The ephah was a standard measure, often mentioned alongside the bath, which was a liquid measure. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the ephah was a critical component of the economic and religious life. It was used in trade and commerce, ensuring fair transactions. The ephah was also significant in religious practices, as offerings and sacrifices often required specific measures of grain. The use of standardized measures like the ephah reflects the importance of justice and fairness in the community, as emphasized in the Torah.
