Assaron

Assaron or Omer / Gomer was a measure of volume. It is mentioned several times in the Bible text. So it will be in 2 Mos. 16:18 and 2 Mos. 16, 36 documented. Other passages in the text include 3. Mos.23. Chapter and 4th Mos. Chapters 15, 28 and 29. The measure was also called “a tenth” because it was the 10th part of the Epha / Efa . The omer is also described as the smallest amount for an offering.

1 Assaron = 2 Maß (Wiener) = 199.3968 Parisian cubic inches = 3.96 liters = around 4 liters

An alternative arises from

1 epha = 22 liters

therefore 1 Assaron would be around 2.2 liters.

There are also grams for this measure.

1 epha = 10 Assaron = 72 sextaries = 39.29184 grams ; consequently 1 Assaron = 3.92 grams
