11The ephahH374 and the bathH1324 shall beH1961 the sameH259 quantityH8506 so that the bathH1324 will containH5375 a tenthH4643 of a homerH2563, and the ephahH374 a tenthH6224 of a homerH2563; the homerH2563 will beH1961 the standard measureH4971 for both.1

12The shekelH8255 will consist of twentyH6242 gerahsH1626.2 TwentyH6242 shekelsH8255 plus twenty-fiveH6242H2568 shekelsH8255 plus fifteenH6235H2568 shekelsH8255 will equalH1961 one minaH4488.3
