- καὶ ἡ χοῖνιξ ὁμοίως μία ἔσται τοῦ λαμβάνειν· τὸ δέκατον τοῦ γόμορ χοῖνιξ, καὶ τὸ δέκατον τοῦ γόμορ, πρὸς τὸ γόμορ ἔσται τὸ ἴσον.

Haydock's commentary
The ephi and the bate. These measures were of equal capacity; but the bate served for liquids, and the ephi for dry things, (Challoner) ver. 13, 14. (Worthington)
Ezechiel specifies the measures, that the people might not use those of Babylon, after their return.
