AMP Footnotes
The measurements of the scroll, as a symbol of God’s judgment, are the same as the measurements of the Holy Place in the tabernacle in the wilderness.
The ephah (a bushel basket for collecting grain) that was used by farmers was approximately 1.05 bushels, but it would be much larger in this vision.
The Hebrew word for the cover is also used for a talent weight. Metal ingots were cast in the form of a flat disk.
Perhaps symbolic of the removal of the sinful customs of the Israelites.
