Strong's Lexicon saah: Measure, seah Original Word: סָעָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to define or measure Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "sa'ah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew measure. However, the concept of measurement is present in Greek terms like "μέτρον" (metron - G3358), which means measure. Usage: The term "sa'ah" refers to a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, approximately equivalent to one-third of an ephah or about 7.3 liters (approximately 2 gallons). It is used in the context of measuring grain or flour, often in domestic or sacrificial settings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, precise measurements were crucial for trade, religious offerings, and daily sustenance. The "sa'ah" was a common household measure, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites. It was part of a system of measures that included the ephah and the omer, which were used to ensure fairness and consistency in commerce and religious practices.
