מִֽהְיוֹתָ֥ם בָּא֙ אֶל־עֲרֵמַ֣ת עֶשְׂרִ֔ים וְהָיְתָ֖ה עֲשָׂרָ֑ה בָּ֣א אֶל־הַיֶּ֗קֶב לַחְשֹׂף֙ חֲמִשִּׁ֣ים פּוּרָ֔ה וְהָיְתָ֖ה עֶשְׂרִֽים׃
[Jadis], on se rendait auprès d’un monceau de vingt [gerbes], et il n’y en avait que dix; on se rendait auprès d’une cuve de vin dans l’attente d’y puiser cinquante mesures et elles se réduisaient à vingt.
Rashi on Haggai
so that they should not come to a heap of twenty measures So that you should not have a curse sent into your works as [there has been] until now; for they would set up a heap from which twenty seahs should be measured, and would find only ten.
