The Homer

Ezekiel 45:10 Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.

Hebrew: חֹמֶר —transliteration: homer or chomer — is a Hebrew measurement, which equals about 8 bushels.

The homer was used as a standard comparison for the ephah (dry measurement) and the bath (liquid measurement). See Ezekiel 45:10-11.
