Menachos 9:1-2

Menachos 9:1

Two dry measures were used in the Temple – the isaron and the half-isaron; Rabbi Meir says there was the level isaron, the heaping isaron and the half-isaron. The isaron was used to measure all the flour offerings. One didn’t use a three-isaron measure for an offering of bulls, nor a two-isaron measure for an offering of rams; rather one used a single isaron measure two or three times as necessary. The half-isaron was used to measure the cakes of the Kohein Gadol, which were offered as half an isaron in the morning and half an isaron in the afternoon.

Menachos 9:2

Seven liquid measures were used in the Temple: the hin, the half-hin, the third-hin, the quarter-hin, the log, the half-log and the quarter-log. Rabbi Eliezer ben Tzadok says that there were lines on the hin measure indicating how high to fill it for a bull (a half-hin), for a ram (a third-hin) and a sheep (a quarter-hin). Rabbi Shimon says that there was no hin-sized measure in the Temple because it would have served no practical purpose (since the offerings only called for a half-hin, a third-hin or a quarter-hin). Rather, the seventh measure was used to measure a log and a half of oil for the Kohein Gadol in the morning and in the afternoon.
