Isaiah 5:10 - Exposition

Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath. The greed of adding field to field will he punished by the curse of barrenness, which God will send upon the laud. Dr. Kay-calculates that ten acres (Roman) of vineyard ought to yield upon the average five hundred baths (or four thousand gallons) instead of one bath (eight gallons). An homer … an ephah. The "ephah" was the tenth-part of a "homer" ( Ezekiel 45:11 ). Corn lands should return only one-tenth part of the seed sown in them.
