Ezekiel 45:10

Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath. (Ezekiel 45:10)
. Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
The bath was a measure of liquids, such as wine and oil, and was of the same capacity as the ephah in dry measure. See note on
Exodus 16:36

Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah. (Exodus 16:36)

Isaiah 5:10
10
Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. (Isaiah 5:10)
. The “measures,” mentioned in
Luke 16:6
6
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. (Luke 16:6)
, are baths.
See also note on
