(32) Ten homers.--The homer, which was equal to ten ephahs, or a hundred omers, appears to have contained between five and six bushels, according to the Rabbinists, but according to Josephus about double that quantity.Verse 32. - And the people stood up... next day.

Ten homers. It is difficult to calculate the capacity of the homer, especially as it may have varied from age to age.
