And water by measure thou dost drink, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time thou dost drink it.

And you are to take water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: you are to take it at regular times.

And you shall drink water by measure, one sixth part of a hin. You shall drink it from time to time.

Et aquas in mensuram bibes in sextam partem hin: a tempore usque ad tempus bibes.

Water by measure - This probably corresponds to the water of affliction 1-Kings 22:27; Isaiah 30:20. The measure of the hin is variously estimated by Jewish writers. The sixth part of a hin will be according to one estimate about 610ths, according to another 910ths of a pint. The lesser estimate is more suitable here.

Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of (i) an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
(i) See Exodus 29:40

Thou shall drink also water by measure,.... Not wine, but water; and this not as much as he would, but a certain measure; which shows great want of it, and expresses a very distressed condition see Lamentations 5:4;
the sixth part of an hin; a hin held twelve logs, or seventy two egg shells, or about three quarts of our measure; and the sixth part of one were two logs, or twelve egg shells, and about a pint of our measure; so that it was but a pint of water a day that the prophet was allowed, as a token of the great scarcity of it in the siege of Jerusalem:
from time to time shalt thou drink: as before.

sixth . . . of . . . hin--about a pint and a half.
