Mesorat%20hashas for Menachot 7:1

הַתּוֹדָה הָיְתָה בָאָה חָמֵשׁ סְאִין יְרוּשַׁלְמִיּוֹת, שֶׁהֵן שֵׁשׁ מִדְבָּרִיּוֹת, שְׁתֵּי אֵיפוֹת, הָאֵיפָה שָׁלשׁ סְאִין, עֶשְׂרִים עִשָּׂרוֹן, עֲשָׂרָה לֶחָמֵץ וַעֲשָׂרָה לַמַּצָּה. עֲשָׂרָה לֶחָמֵץ, עִשָּׂרוֹן לְחַלָּה. וַעֲשָׂרָה לַמַּצָּה, וּבַמַּצָּה שְׁלשָׁה מִינִין, חַלּוֹת וּרְקִיקִים וּרְבוּכָה. נִמְצְאוּ שְׁלשָׁה עֶשְׂרוֹנוֹת וּשְׁלִישׁ לְכָל מִין, שָׁלשׁ חַלּוֹת לְעִשָּׂרוֹן. בְּמִדָּה יְרוּשַׁלְמִית הָיוּ שְׁלשִׁים קַב, חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לֶחָמֵץ, וַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לַמַּצָּה. חֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לֶחָמֵץ, קַב וָחֵצִי לְחַלָּה. וַחֲמִשָּׁה עָשָׂר לַמַּצָּה, וְהַמַּצָּה שְׁלשָׁה מִינִין, חַלּוֹת וּרְקִיקִים וּרְבוּכָה, נִמְצְאוּ חֲמֵשֶׁת קַבִּים לְכָל מִין, שְׁתֵּי חַלּוֹת לְקָב:

The thanksgiving offering was brought from five se'im [specific unit of volume] of flour of the Jerusalem measure, which is six se'im of the desert measure. [This was equivalent to] two eifot [specific unit of volume, each] eifah is three se'im [and two eifot are also equal to] twenty issaron, ten of which for leavened bread and ten for unleavened bread. Ten for the leavened [meant that] each loaf [was made from] a whole issaron [of flour]. The ten for the unleavened bread - and in the unleavened bread [there were] three varieties: loaves, wafers and deep-fried dumplings - therefore there were three and a third issaron for each variety, three loaves for every issaron. In the Jerusalem measures it was thirty kav [particular unit of volume], fifteen for the leavened and fifteen for the unleavened. Fifteen for the leavened [meant that] each loaf [was made from] one and a half kav. Fifteen for the unleavened bread - and in the unleavened bread [there were] three varieties: loaves, wafers and deep-fried dumpling - therefore there were five kav for each variety, two loaves for every kav.
