"...six measures..." also translates to "...six ephahs...". Trying to figure out how much that is in modern terms is difficult at best. Since there is variation between US and British measurement systems, I was looking for one consistent conversion measurement and chose liters. However, there are at least six different amounts given for a ephah: 7.7 l, 22 l, 33 l, 35 l, 36.44 l, and 40.32 l. These translate to somewhere between 1.31 and 6.87 bushels (US). Assuming barley in those times had approximately the same test weight, that means Ruth carried back somewhere between 63 and 330 pounds. (See The Bible -- Book of Ruth, Ch. 3, Vs. 15-17)
Another perspective:If your question refers to Ruth 3, there is no way to know for certain. "Measure" in Ruth 3:15 is a verb, not a noun, so what Ruth was given to carry was "six measured amounts;" probably six armfuls. ("Ephah" in the Modern or New King James is misleading; the word for an ephah is not present in Ruth 3.)
