baths
A 'bath' is an ancient Hebrew liquid measure of capacity, especially for oils, water, or wine. In the context of ancient weights and measures, it serves as the principal large unit for liquids, akin to the ephah as a dry measure, generally understood to be between 20 and 24 liters (about 5.8–6.3 gallons), though the exact size could vary across periods and locales. In Aramaic passages, the term refers specifically to this unit.
