The se'ah or seah (Hebrew: סאה sə’āh), plural se'im, is a unit of dry measure of ancient origin found in the Bible and in Halakha (Jewish law), which equals one third of an ephah, or bath. In layman's terms, it is equal to the capacity of 144 medium-sized eggs, or what is equal in volume to about 9 US quarts (8.5 litres). [ 1 ]
The omer, which the Torah mentions as being equal to one-tenth of an ephah, [30] is equivalent to the capacity of 43.2 eggs, or what is also known as one-tenth of three seahs.
