It was commonly used for measuring grains and other dry commodities. The ephah was a standard measure, often mentioned alongside the bath, which was a liquid measure.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the ephah was a critical component of the economic and religious life. It was used in trade and commerce, ensuring fair transactions. The ephah was also significant in religious practices, as offerings and sacrifices often required specific measures of grain. The use of standardized measures like the ephah reflects the importance of justice and fairness in the community, as emphasized in the Torah.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>appar. a short. form of <a href="/hebrew/369.htm">ayin</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>not. <p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אִין</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/21-9.htm">1 Samuel 21:9</a> <font class="hebrew2">וְאִין יֵשׁ ֗֗֗ </font> probably irregular for) <font class="hebrew2">אֵין</font> (so Ki Ges Ew<sup>§ 213 e, 286 h 1Sam 01:640</sup> Sta<sup>§ 194 c</sup>) with <font class="hebrew2">יֵשׁ</font> pleonastic (as <a href="/interlinear/psalms/135-17.htm">Psalm 135:17</a>); > dialect. = Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb003501.gif">, <font class="hebrew2">אִין</font> <em>num?</em> (De, but see Dr<sup>Sm</sup> <em>on the passage</em>) </p><br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>not <p>Apparently a shortened form of <a href="/hebrew/369.htm">'ayin</a>; but (like <a href="/hebrew/370.htm">'aiyn</a>) an interrogative: is it not? -- not. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/369.htm">'ayin</a> <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/370.htm">'aiyn</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְאִ֛ין ואין veIn wə’în wə·’în<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_samuel/21-9.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Samuel 21:9</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/21.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">דָּוִד֙ לַאֲחִימֶ֔לֶךְ <b> וְאִ֛ין </b> יֶשׁ־ פֹּ֥ה</span><br><a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/21-9.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and David Ahimelech <span class="itali">not</span> there are here<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_371.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_371.htm">Strong's Hebrew 371<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vein_371.htm">wə·’în — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/370.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="370"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="370" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/372.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="372"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="372" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
