Measure Biblical is a term used to describe the ancient system of measuring time and distance in the Bible. The two crossword solutions, OMER and EPHE, refer to two different units of measurement. An OMER is a unit of dry measure equal to about 2 liters, while an EPHE is a unit of liquid measure equal to about 3.5 liters. Both of these measurements were used in the Bible to measure grain, oil, and other commodities.
