What is a seah in Biblical measures?

A seah is an ancient Biblical dry volume unit, equal to one third of an ephah and commonly approximated as 7.3 liters, used for measuring grain and flour.

How much is one omer compared to seah?

One omer is one tenth of an ephah and is about 2.2–2.3 liters; 1 seah equals approximately 3.33 omer.

Can I use this tool for non-Biblical volume conversions?

This tool is specialized for converting between Biblical dry units, seah and omer, and is not intended for modern standard volume conversions.

Why are the conversion values approximate?

Because ancient measures vary by region and historical period, modern equivalents are best estimates derived from texts and archaeology.
