Exegesis
The noun chain solet {סֹ֣לֶת | sō-let}, issaron {עִשָּׂר֔וֹן | ʿis-sā-rōn}, balul {בָּל֕וּל | bā-lūl}, birviit {בִּרְבִעִ֥ית | bir-vi-ʿît}, hahin {הַהִ֖ין | ha-ḥīn}, shemen {שָֽׁמֶן | šā-men} preserves Hebrew word order, listing material, quantity, preparation state, measure, and medium. The precision of “a tenth of an ephah” and “a fourth of a hin” reflects Hebrew metrological terms rendered in English.
In context — Numbers 15:4
The one who brings near shall present his offering to the LORD as a grain offering of the finest flour—a tenth of an ephah—mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil.
