However, Greek terms for measures like "choinix" (G5518) may be used in similar contexts in the New Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "seah" refers to a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, approximately equivalent to one-third of an ephah or about 7.3 liters (roughly 2 gallons). It is used in the Bible to quantify grain or flour, often in the context of offerings, hospitality, or trade.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the seah was a common unit of measurement for dry goods, particularly grains. It was part of a larger system of measures that included the ephah and the omer. The use of standardized measurements was crucial for trade, religious offerings, and daily life. The seah, being a smaller unit, was practical for household use and smaller transactions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain
