Bat, also spelled baht or bath, also called ephah, in a measurement system, ancient Hebrew unit of liquid and dry capacity. |
Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. |
The Ephah of dry measure equalled the Bath of liquid measure, and the Cab was the same in each. |
The Bath, equal to 72 Logs, is thus the liquid equivalent of the Ephah, also equal to 72 Logs. |
For a ram two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil and a libation of a third of a hin of wine are required. |
In a single day Ruth gleaned a whole ephah, that is 36 litres of barley. |
