Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8490. 'Two omers for each one' means the capacity then. This is clear from the meaning of 'an omer' as the sufficient amount, and so capacity, dealt with in 8468, 8473, at this point the sufficient amount and the capacity for being joined together. For 'the seventh day' or the sabbath means the joining together of goodness and truth.
