However, related Greek terms might include those used for measures or offerings, though they do not correspond directly to the Hebrew "omer." Usage: The term "omer" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a sheaf of grain, particularly in the context of offerings and measurements. It is also a specific unit of dry measure, approximately equivalent to 2.3 liters or about 2 quarts. Context: • The word "omer" appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures. It is most notably associated with the offering of the first sheaf of the barley harvest, known as the "wave sheaf offering," which is presented during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. This is described in Leviticus 23:10-11: "Speak to the Israelites and say, 'When you enter the land I am giving you and reap its harvest, you are to bring to the priest a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest. He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD so that it may be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.'"
