ephahn.

/ˈiːfə/

Forms: Middle English ( ephi), 1600s–1700s epha, 1600s– ephah.

Etymology: < Hebrew ēⁱphāh, believed to be of Egyptian origin. Compare Egyptian ȧpit, a dry measure containing 40 hin, or according to Hultsch 18·18 litres = 4 gallons. The form ephi is < Latin ēphi (Vulgate) = Greek οἰϕί (Septuagint). The Greek and Latin forms cannot be adoptions of the Hebrew word, but appear to be taken directly < Egyptian; the Greek is stated by Hesychius to be the name of an Egyptian measure.
