For example, the Artscroll siddur describes omer as the "Omer meal offering" in the section "Counting the Omer". The translation "sheaf" has become so popular, that even sources that openly take the view of the Rabbis occasionally use the other translation. When approaching this issue, it is important to note at the beginning that there is a significant lack of consistency in the translation of the word. Even Rashi, who clearly states in his commentary on 23:11 that omer here means "measure", doesn't bring a proof, only quotes the verse in Shmot. Does it mean a "Sunday" or the 16th of Nissan (the day following the first day of Pesach)? However, in regards to the discussion about the meaning of omer, we find very few "proofs" in Talmudic literature. Starting with the earliest mishnaic sources, we find countless discussions about the meaning of that phrase. First of all - what is the source of the disagreement? And secondly, why hasn't this question received more attention? If we look at another verse in the same section - 23:11, it discusses how the omer was brought on ממחרת השבת - the day after "shabbat". However, almost all Jewish sources say that the word omer in this section is referring to the measure of volume.
The Septuagint translates the word here as "sheaf" and this is also the translation of the Vulgate and most non-Jewish translations and modern scholars. However, the real question is what does it mean in Vayikra 23:10-16 - the section discussing the omer offering and the subsequent counting. However, in the story of the mahn (manna) מן - Shemot 16:16-36, it refers to a measure of volume, one tenth of an ephah. In Devarim 24:19, Rut 2:7 it is usually translated as "sheaf" - a bundle of stalks of grain. It has clearly different meanings in its various appearances in the Tanach.
