It is often used to render the words representing particular measures, such as ['ephah] (Deuteronomy 25:14, 15 Proverbs 20:10 Micah 6:10); or kor (1 Kings 4:22; 1 Kings 5:11 (1 Kings 5:2, 5:25 Hebrew text); 2 Chronicles 2:10 (Hebrew text 2:9) 27:5; Ezra 7:22); or seah (Genesis 18:6 1 Samuel 25:18 1 Kings 18:32 2 Kings 7:1, 16, 18); or batos, "bath" (Luke 16:6).
