Omar (Hebrew: אוֹמָר ʾŌmār, possibly meaning "eloquent" or "gifted speaker") [1] was the name of a man mentioned in the Bible, the ancestor of a Semitic Edomite and Canaanite clan, [2] the son of Eliphaz (Esau's eldest son). Omar's brothers were Teiman (the name is later associated with Yemen), Zepho, Ga'atam, Kenaz and Amalek. [3] [4]
The Jewish Study Bible (2014), however, places the omer at about 2.3 L (0.61 US gal). [5] In traditional Jewish standards of measurement, the omer was equivalent to the volume of 43.2 chicken's eggs, or what is also known as one-tenth of an ephah (three seahs). [6]
Umar or Omar is a common name (Arabic: عمر) in Arabic-speaking and Muslim populations in general. Omar is represented in Islamic traditions, meaning 'flourishing, long-lived'. The name dates back to the emergence and military success of Islam, which were partly due to the second caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (also spelled Omar, r. 634–644).
The commandment for counting the Omer is recorded within the Torah in Leviticus 23:9–21: . When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf (omer) of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest.
