Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8525

8525. 'Fill an omer with it' means the greatest capacity. This is clear from the meaning of 'an omer' as the sufficient amount, and capacity, dealt with in 8468, 8473; and since 'an omer' is the sufficient amount, or the capacity one person has, it also means his greatest capacity.
