¹³ “‘This is the special gift you are to offer: a sixth of an ephah^[c] from each homer of wheat and a sixth of an ephah^[d] from each homer of barley. ¹⁴ The prescribed portion of olive oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath^[e] from each cor (which consists of ten baths or one homer, for ten baths are equivalent to a homer).
