Tenth deal

Easton's Bible Dictionary 1897

I.e., the tenth part of an ephah (as in the R.V.), equal to an omer or six pints. The recovered leper, to complete his purification, was required to bring a trespass, a sin, and a burnt offering, and to present a meal offering, a tenth deal or an omer of flour for each, with oil to make it into bread or cakes (Lev. 14:10, 21; comp. Ex. 16:36; 29:40).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia 1915

del (`issaron): The tenth part of an ephah, and so rendered in the Revised Version (British and American) (Nu 28; 29). It was used in connection with the sacrifices for measuring flour.
