2/3 is the only non unit fraction in Egyptian math. Why this is so and why the ancient Hebrews had a special measurement for 2/3's but not 1/3 is something scholars have yet to reveal.

❗NOTE: In case you haven't noticed the Omer is a horribly impractical measurement. The Hebrews were very much a dozenal people and had little use for base 10 measurements. Base 12 of course has more factors. So where does this out of sync decimal measurement come from? It wouldn't be so bad if the Ancient Hebrews had any measurement less than an Omer that could divide evenly into it. But they didn't! The Omer is a strictly ceremonial measurement instituted by the creator of heaven and earth. It serves no other purpose but to remind the children of Israel of the 10 commandments as well as the tithe. Other than for religious ceremonies it just wouldn't work in the market place since the other measurements are incompatible with it.
๐NOTE: you can reconstruct the entire biblical measuring system with just these three items:
๐ฃ1 American Foot = span
๐ฐ2 quarters or a 50¢ piece = shekel
๐ง1 qt or 1 L = qab
*28 g = 1 oz
*32 g = 1 ozt
๐ NOTE: The liquid and dry measurements are exactly like the Babylonian base 60 system. Basically it is based off the degrees of a circle(360). There are 180° between freezing and boiling in the Fahrenheit system. 180 is half the degrees of a circle. Likewise there are 180 qabs in a kor.
