(סֵאה, seah, from the obsolete סְאָה, saah, to 'expand), a Hebrew measure, properly for grain (A.V. always "measure;" Genesis 18:6; 1 Samuel 25:18; 1 Kings 18:32; 2 Kings 7:1; 2 Kings 7:16; 2 Kings 7:18); containing, according to the rabbins, the third of an ephab, i.e. nearly one and a half pecks English; according to Jerome (On Matthew 13:33), a modius and a half. From the Aramaean form has sprung the σάτον of the Sept., New Test., and Josephus. (See METROLOGY),
