Isaiah 5:10 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

One bath — Of wine. The bath contained about eight gallons. Thus an acre did not yield one gallon. An ephah — Which was of the same quantity with the bath, only the bath was the measure of liquid things, the ephah of dry things; and a ephah was the tenth part of an homer. So instead of the increase which that fruitful land commonly yielded, they should loose nine parts of their seed.

Isaiah 5:10

10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
