Manna, măn′-nă. Ex. 16:15¹⁵And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. (Exodus 16:15). Heb. Man, or man hu; Gk. μάννα. Manna (Heb.

(Exodus 16:32); Heb. 9:4⁴Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; (Hebrews 9:4).

“Measure” (Psa. 80:5⁵Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. (Psalm 80:5); Isa. 40:12¹²Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? (Isaiah 40:12)) = 1/3 bath = 1 seah of dry measure (nearly 3 gal.).

“Measure” (Luke 16:6⁶And 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)) = bath, 9 gal.

“Firkin” (John 2:6⁶And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. (John 2:6)) = Gk. Mĕtrētēs′ = bath = about 9 gal. (8 gal., 5.12 pint).

“Pot” (Mark 7:4⁴And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables. (Mark 7:4)) = Rom. Sextarius = about 1 pint (0.96).

Note 1. These tables are in accord with the Greek and Roman measures in Harper’s Classical Dictionary (1897) and the Temple Bible (1901), and are as nearly as possible those used after the Exile and in New Testament times.

Note 2. The relations of these measures to one another are correct, but there is a double uncertainty as to the exact modern equivalents, for the capacity of the Hebrew measures cannot be accurately determined, and there is no uniformity as to the exact capacity of the English and American measures. There are, for instance, four different quarts in use named in the Century Dictionary.

Note 3. The bath was the unit of liquid measurement, as was its equivalent, the ephah of dry measure = Gk. Mĕtrētēs′. “According to Josephus it contained 72 Attic Sextarii = 0.96 pint x 72 = 8 gallons, 5.12 pints,” or one bushel and five pints dry measure. According to Colonel Conder, LL. D., in the Quarterly Statement of the Palestine Exploration Fund for April 1902, the bath occupied a cube of the small cubit, 13.33 inches, or the cube of 36 barleycorns = 12 inches.

Note 4. A liter, the unit of capacity in the metric system, is the volume of one kilogram of water = one cubic decimeter = 0.88 of an imperial quart, or 1.056 United States quarts.

“Measure” (Rev. 6:6⁶And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. (Revelation 6:6)) = Gk. Choinix = nearly one quart (0.96).

“Measure” (1 Kings 4:22; 2 Chron. 2:10) = homer.

“Bushel” (Matt. 5:15¹⁵Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. (Matthew 5:15)) = Rom. Modius = nearly a peck (0.96).

Note 1. The ephah was the unit of dry measure as the bath was of liquid.

Note 2. The equivalents here are in accord with Harper’s Classical Dictionary (1897) and the Temple Bible (1901). The relations of the measures are correct, but there is considerable variation as to their modern equivalents, at different times and according to different authorities.

Note 3. According to the careful calculations of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Charles Warren, an ephah or bath contained 2333.3 cubic inches. A log contained 32.4 cubic inches, or a cube each of whose sides = 3.185 inches.

Note 1. The unit of measurement was the cubit. The relations of the measures to one another are always as given, but the standards vary.

Note 2. The cubit was originally the length of the human arm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger (among the Greeks and Romans) and equaled a foot and a half.

Note 3. But as the length of the foot differed (the Greek foot being 308.3 millimeters, the Roman 295.7, the English 304.8), the Greek cubit was a little longer and the Roman a little shorter than a foot and a half English. See Harper’s Classical Dictionary, “Cubitus,” and table in the Appendix.

Note 4. The cubit in very early times was 25.19 inches, and after the Exile the legal cubit of the Talmudists was 21.85 inches. Col. Conder makes the cubit of 6 palms to be 16 inches, but gives five different lengths for the cubit according to the number of barleycorns, of which three = one inch.

According to Lieut.-Gen. Sir Chalres Warren, K.C.B., F.R.S., the length of the cubit regulated everything connected with weights and measures, and even the weight of the gold, silver and copper coinage. The building cubit of Egypt was 20.6 British inches or 7 palms, while the common cubit was 6 palms or 17.75 inches. “With this length Goliath at 6 cubits, one span would have measured 9 feet, 7.3 inches. The bedstead of Og (9 by 4 cubits) would have measured 13 feet, 3.75 inches by 5 feet, 11 inches.”

Note 1. The relations of the measures to one another are correct, but the standards vary slightly, the Roman Stadium, or furlong, being 185 meters, the Attic 177, the Olympic 192.

Note 2. The Roman mile was a little more than nine-tenths of an English mile.

Note 3. A meter, 39.37 English inches. The English foot is 0.3048 of a meter.

Measures of Surface (Roman); Probably about the same as the Hebrew.

28,800	2	Acre, Jugerum (Roman acre) Heb. Ṣěmêd, "yoke" (Isa. 5:10)	27,143	5/8	99	199

Note 1. The Actus was the basis of the whole system of Roman land measurement. It was 120 Roman feet long and 4 feet wide. The Actus Quadratus, or squared, was a square 120 feet each way.

Note 2. The Jugerum, “yoke,” was the area which a yoke of oxen could plow in a day.

Note 3. The foregoing tables will explain many texts in the Bible. Take, for instance, Isaiah 5:10¹⁰Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah. (Isaiah 5:10): “For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath [nearly 9 gallons, or 3½ quarts of wine to an acre], and a homer of seed [10 bushels, 3 pecks] shall yield but an ephah [one bushel, 3 pints, or only one-tenth as much as the seed sown].”

²Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. (Leviticus 20:2)). A deity worshipped by the Ammonites, one feature of his worship being the burning of children. Worship of. 1 Kings 11:7⁷Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. (1 Kings 11:7); 2 Kings 23:10¹⁰And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech. (2 Kings 23:10); Jer. 32:35³⁵And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

See Ex. 33:5⁵For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. (Exodus 33:5); Ezek. 26:16; 32:10¹⁶Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.

(Ezekiel 32:10); Luke 4:5⁵And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. (Luke 4:5).

Money. 2 Kings 5:26²⁶And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee?

Note 1. The shekel was the unit of value in common use.

Note 2. The value of the shekel = 4 Greek drachmas = 4 Roman denarii. The best specimens extant of silver shekels weigh 218 to 220 grains, showing the correctness of the theoretical standard of 224½ grains. So Hasting’s Bible Dictionary, but Harper’s Classical Dictionary gives the weight of the denarius in Augustus’ time, up to Nero, as 60 grains. A shekel therefore (4 denarii) = 240 grains.

Note 3. The reason for the different weights of the gold and silver shekels and their multiples lies in the fact that the ratio of silver to gold being 13.3 to 1, which was very inconvenient for commercial transactions, the ratio of the coins was made 15 to 1 by increasing the number of grains in a gold shekel to 252-2/3, so that 15 silver shekels = 1 gold shekel in value.

Note 4. There are no coins mentioned in the Bible before the Exile, and only one, the gold daric, in the Old Testament. But there were ingots or bars of gold and silver of definite weights for convenience of trade.

Note 5. These tables have been computed by a careful comparison of the article by Prof. A. R. S. Kennedy, D.D., in Hasting’s Bible Dictionary. The equivalents in English money are given on English authorities. Those in dollars and cents are in accordance with the denarius of 60 grains, as in the Classical Dictionary.

Note 6. One pound avoirdupois contains 7000 grains. One pound troy contains 5760 grains.

Note 1. The denarius was the standard coin of Rome, as the shekel was of Jewish currency. The coin shekel was about the size of an English half crown and a little larger that a half dollar.

Note 2. Since in all our coins the pure silver and gold are alloyed with harder metals to render them more enduring, the calculations of the equivalents in English money are based upon the price at which the Royal Mint buys pure gold, viz., £3 17 s. 10½ d. per oz. of 480 grains.

The equivalents in dollars and cents are based upon the amount of pure silver in the standard dollar of 416 grains, of which 371½ grains are pure silver. Silver is 16 to 1 of gold in the United States coinage. The denarius is calculated as 60 grains in weight, for the American equivalents, and as 56 grains for English money.

Note 3. The variations in values are very perplexing. In some cases the proportions of one coin to another varied in different ages. Before 210 B.C. a denarius (which means “10 asses”) consisted of 10 asses, but in the time of Augustus it consisted of 16. There were differences often between current and tariff values. The mina of silver was of a different weight from the mina of gold. The mina of the Old Testament consisted of 50 shekels, but in New Testament times of 25 shekels, or of 50 shekels of the sanctuary, each of which was the half of a common shekel.

The tables, therefore, are approximate only, for any particular age, but the proportions of the different coins are correct.

Money changers were a necessity because coins of so many countries were in circulation. They were especially necessary in connection with the temple offerings, which must be made in Hebrew money, while those who made the offerings came from all parts of the world. See Matt. 21:12¹²And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, (Matthew 21:12); John 2:14¹⁴And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: (John 2:14).

Note 4. (From Lieut.-Gen. Sir Charles Warren, K.C.B., F.R.S., in Palestine Exploration Fund.) The standard weight of a talent was the weight of 2/3 of an ancient cubit cubed (or a cubic foot) in rain water. This was the standard at a very early period. But it did not become a standard of linear measure till the length of the cubit was reduced in Greece and Rome, when the side of this cube became the Roman foot.

The 2/3 cubic cubit or cubic foot was divided into 80 parts, or logs, or Roman pounds. The 2/3 cubit cubed or cubic foot of Greece, Rome and Europe generally is about two-thirds the capacity of that of Babylon, and the question arises whether this is due to the gradual depreciation of the cubit of 20.6109 inches to about 18 inches, or to a deliberate change of unit for purposes of convenience.

No doubt the old system of working in palms had many inconveniences, and the new unit of 70,000 to a double cubit cubed could not be fairly brought into use generally so long as the standard of length remained a broken number of inches, viz., 20.6109. The change that was made was a very simple one, by which the new pound (80 to a cubic foot) became half the monetary mina, of which there were 60 to an ancient cubic foot or talent, and by which the standard cubit of 20.6109 inches became 18 inches, and the double cubit became a yard or 36 inches.

This change consisted simply of reducing the content of the double cubit cubed by one-third, and using the side cube of this remaining bulk as the new standard of length.

It was discovered that 70,000 is nearly exactly 1½ times (36)3.

It has been shown that the inch is almost exactly equivalent to 1/70,000 double cubit cubed of the ancients, and that the foot and yard cubed are almost exactly two-thirds, respectively, of the 2/3 cubit and double cubit cubed.

The Hebrew kor (10 baths) is exactly half an English cubic yard. If the contents of a cubic yard are shaped in the form of a sphere and a cylinder encloses it and a cone be erected on the base of the cylinder with the same height, the cone will represent exactly a kor, the sphere will represent a cubic yard, and the cylinder will represent an Egyptian chest, and their proportions, respectively, will be 1, 2 and 3.

The English pounds Troy and avoirdupois appear to have been derived from different sources.

The pound Troy would appear to have the same relation to the cubic foot as the Roman pound has to the Roman cubic foot, and thus to have been derived from the Babylonian measures.

Note 1. This calendar has been adapted to the three years, 1902, 1910 and 1915, by Dr. Solomon Schindler, late Rabbi of Temple Adath-Israel, Boston, U.S.A., in order to show the variation of the months from the corresponding ones given in the column of modern months. They vary nearly as our Easter-tide. Out of eight years, the calculations for which are before me, in four Nisan (April) begins in March and in four in April.

Note 2. The Jewish year is strictly lunar and contains 354 days, or 12 lunations of the moon, but in a cycle of 19 years an intercalary month (Veadar) is seven times introduced, to render the average length of the year nearly correct. “This thirteenth month was added to the year whenever on the 16th of Nisan the barley was not yet ripe, but this was forbidden in the sabbatical years, as two intercalary years in succession were not allowed” (H. von Soden, in Encyc. Bib.).
