Isaiah 5:10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Ten acres of vineyard
shall yield but one bath,[a]
And a homer of seed
shall yield but an ephah.
Footnotes
- 5:10 Ten acres: a field with ten times the surface area a yoke of oxen could plow in one day. Bath: a liquid measure equal to about twelve gallons. Homer: a dry measure equal to what a donkey can carry, calculated to be about ten bushels. Ephah: a dry measure of about one bushel. So small a harvest is the fruit of the land-grabbers’ greed.
