An ephah is an ancient Hebrew unit of dry measure. It is about 1 bushel or 35 liters. I read it recently in the book of Ruth where Ruth gathers "about an ephah of barley" (Ruth 2:17).

What is two tenths of an ephah in kilogrammes?

There is no equivalence. A kilogram is a measure of mass. An ephah is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid. The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.
