- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Collegit ergo in agro usque ad vesperam : et quæ collegerat virga cædens et excutiens, invenit hordei quasi ephi mensuram, id est, tres modios.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ συνέλεξεν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ ἕως ἑσπέρας, καὶ ἐράβδισεν ἃ συνέλεξεν, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὡς οἰφὶ κριθῶν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַתְּלַקֵּ֥ט בַּשָּׂדֶ֖ה עַד הָעָ֑רֶב וַתַּחְבֹּט֙ אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁר לִקֵּ֔טָה וַיְהִ֖י כְּאֵיפָ֥ה שְׂעֹרִֽים
Haydock's commentary
Rod, as Gedeon had done, Judges vi. 11.
That is, &c., an explanation of the Vulgate. (Calmet)-The ephi contained three pecks and three pints. (Arbuthnot)
Alcazar and Cornelius a Lapide say 960 ounces. (Menochius)
