Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Short description A homer (Шаблон:Lang-he ḥōmer, plural חמרם ḥomārim; also Шаблон:Lang kōr) is a biblical unit of volume used for liquids and dry goods. One homer is equal to 10 baths, or what was also equivalent to 30 seahs; each seah being the equivalent in volume to six kabs, and each kab equivalent in volume to 24 medium-sized eggs.[1] One homer equals 220 litre or 220 dm3.

Lawrence Boadt notes the word homer comes from the Hebrew for an "ass." "It is one ass-load."[2]

The homer should not be confused with the omer, which is a much smaller unit of dry measure.
