BATH, A Hebrew measure for liquids containing about eight gallons,

1 Kings 7:26-38

26. And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand BATHs.

27. And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.

28. And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

29. And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.

30. And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.

31. And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

32. And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

33. And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.

34. And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.

35. And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.

36. For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.

37. After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

38. Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty BATHs: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.

Ezra 7:22

22. Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred BATHs of wine, and to an hundred BATHs of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.

Isaiah 5:10

10. Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one BATH, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

Ezekiel 45:10-14

10. Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just BATH.

11. The ephah and the BATH shall be of one measure, that the BATH may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.

12. And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.

13. This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:

14. Concerning the ordinance of oil, the BATH of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a BATH out of the cor, which is an homer of ten BATHs; for ten BATHs are an homer:
