'Bushel' in the Bible

Nor is a lamp lighted to be put under a bushel, but on the lampstand; and then it gives light to all in the house.

Another parable He spoke to them. "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, for it to work there till the whole mass has risen."

He went on to say, "Is the lamp brought in in order to be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not rather in order that it may be placed on the lampstand?

"When any one lights a lamp, he never puts it in the cellar or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that people who come in may see the light.

It is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, to work there till the whole is leavened."
