Exodus 29:40

A tenth deal of flour - Deal signifies a part, from the Anglo-Saxon word, to divide; hence, a part, a portion taken from the whole. From Numbers 28:5 ; we learn that this tenth deal was the tenth part of an ephah, which constituted what is called an omer. See Exodus 16:36 ; and see Clarke's note on Exodus 16:16 ; of the same chapter, where an account is given of different measures of capacity among the Hebrews. The omer contained about three quarts English.

The fourth part of a hin - The hin contained one gallon and two pints. The fourth part of this was about one quart and a half of a pint.

Drink-offering - A libation poured out before the Lord. See its meaning, Leviticus 7:1 , etc.
