‏ Haggai 2:16

16. Since those days were--from the time that those days of your neglect of the temple work have been.

when one came to an heap of twenty measures--that is, to a heap which he had expected would be one of twenty measures, there were but ten.

fifty vessels out of the press--As the Septuagint translates "measure," and Vulgate "a flagon," and as we should rather expect vat than press. Maurer translates (omitting vessels, which is not in the original), "purahs," or "wine-measures."
