What is an omer in biblical measurement?

An omer is an ancient Israelite dry volume unit defined as one-tenth of an ephah, approximately 2.2 to 2.3 liters, used to measure grain and offerings in biblical contexts.

How does the seah compare to the omer?

The seah is an ancient biblical unit equal to one third of an ephah, commonly about 7.3 liters, and 1 omer converts to 0.3 seah, representing a larger dry volume measure.

Why should I be cautious using this conversion for modern measurements?

Because ancient units like the omer and seah have approximate modern equivalents and variations in historical standards, the conversion should mainly support interpretative or scholarly work rather than precise modern use.
