However, the concept of a "measure" can be related to Greek terms like μέτρον (metron, Strong's G3358).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "omer" primarily refers to a unit of measure used in ancient Israel, equivalent to about one-tenth of an ephah. It is also used to describe a sheaf of grain, particularly during the harvest. In the context of the manna provided to the Israelites in the wilderness, an omer was the daily portion allotted to each person (Exodus 16:16).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was central to daily life and religious practice. The omer was a critical measure during the harvest, especially in the context of the Feast of Firstfruits, where an omer of the first barley harvest was offered to God (Leviticus 23:10-11). This offering marked the beginning of the counting of the Omer, a 49-day period leading up to the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), symbolizing the link between Passover and the giving of the Torah at Sinai.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/561.htm">emer</a>.<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">אֹמֶר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Psalm 77:9</sup> <font size="+1"><b>utterance, speech, word</b></font>, only in poetry, & <a href="/interlinear/joshua/24-27.htm">Joshua 24:27</a> exalted style;
