17 En het zal den vorst opleggen te offeren de brandofferen, en het spijsoffer, en het drankoffer, op de feesten, en op de nieuwe maanden, en op de sabbatten, op alle gezette hoogtijden van het huis Israels; hij zal het zondoffer, en het spijsoffer, en het brandoffer, en de dankofferen doen, om verzoening te doen voor het huis Israels.

Bath

  
Depiction of a bath, by Unknown, Roman Empire

In general, measurements of dry food – omers, ephahs, etc. – relate to good, and measurements of liquids relate to truth. A “bath” in Biblical times was a measurement of liquid – most authorities put it between six and eight gallons. We would expect it to relate to truth, then. The bath, however, was also used to measure oil, a liquid which was not a drink, and which represents the very highest and most holy states of love and caring. So the “bath” generally represents “truth from good,” worthy ideas inspired by a genuine desire to be good and loving. Varieties of food in the Bible represent the many ways we experience a desire for good; varieties of drink represent the many ways we can gain knowledge and understanding. Measurements in the Bible are a way of showing the quality of a spiritual state – six omers of barley, for instance, would apply the meaning of “six” to the spiritual value represented by “barley.” In Isaiah 5:10, bath specifically represents truth from good. (Apocalypse Explained 675[11])
