Use the tool primarily for educational, archaeological, or historical research rather than modern commercial measurements
-
Cross-reference converted values with relevant scriptural or historical data for accuracy
-
Take note that the peck has a precise modern volume, whereas the seah is an approximate equivalent
Limitations
