Cost of a Gallon of MilkGallon Jug of Milk Image by Travis S. via FlickrIsaiah 5 - Wesley’s Explanatory Notes - Bible Commentary: "[10] Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.

One bath — Of wine. The bath contained about eight gallons. Thus an acre did not yield one gallon.

An ephah — Which was of the same quantity with the bath, only the bath was the measure of liquid things, the ephah of dry things; and a ephah was the tenth part of an homer. So instead of the increase which that fruitful land commonly yielded, they should loose nine parts of their seed."
