Isaiah 5:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

Ten acres - literally, yokes as much as one yoke of oxen could plow in a day.

Shall yield one - only.

Bath - of wine; seven and a half gallons.

The seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. Eight bushels of seed would yield only three pecks produce (Ezekiel 45:11). The ephah and bath were each one-tenth of an homer.
