A new history of the Holy Bible, from the beginning of the world, to the establishment of Christianity, with answers to most of the controverted questions, dissertations upon the most remarkable passages, and a connection of profane history all along .. . s. I Dry Meafures. The Cab contained a Quar-ter of a Peck. The Omer, or Gnomer inthe Hebrew, was the tenthPart of an Ephah. The Ephah is computed tobe about our Bufhel; and The Homer is fuppofed tobe ten. The Log came near to ourPint. 12 Logs made an Hin,which anfwered our Gallon. 6 Hins made a Bath,which was about fix Gallons jand 10 Baths made an Ho?ner,which was 60.
