An omer is a Biblical unit of measurement roughly
equal to 2 quarts or 2 liters. The omer represents one
day's ration and is identified as one 1/10
ephah. Omer only appears once in the Bible and is used in
Exodus 16:22 as the amount of manna that was collected by the
Israelites in one day. Closely related to the omer is the word
issaron which means 1/10. It is
used several times in the Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. |
