What Is This Tool?
This unit converter facilitates the transformation of volume values expressed in acre-feet, a customary unit for large water quantities, into the ancient Hebrew liquid volume measure known as the Biblical log. It supports users such as historians, religious scholars, and water resource managers in interpreting and comparing vastly different volume scales.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in acre-foot units you wish to convert.
-
Select acre-foot as the source unit and log (Biblical) as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in log (Biblical).
-
Use the result to interpret historical texts, religious volumes, or water data.
Key Features
-
Converts large water volumes from acre-foot to small ancient Biblical liquid units.
-
Provides a direct numerical conversion factor for accurate translation between units.
-
Supports applications in religious, archaeological, and water management fields.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with clear input and output guidance.
Examples
-
Convert 2 acre-feet to log (Biblical): 2 × 4,036,849.6501555 = 8,073,699.300311 log (Biblical).
-
Convert 0.5 acre-foot to log (Biblical): 0.5 × 4,036,849.6501555 = 2,018,424.825078 log (Biblical).
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting and managing large water storage and releases using acre-foot units.
-
Translating biblical and Talmudic measurements for liquid volumes in religious contexts.
-
Reconstructing ancient recipes and ritual volumes for archaeological and historical studies.
-
Converting municipal or agricultural water supply volumes into traditional units for comparative analysis.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Double-check input values to ensure correct unit conversion results.
-
Use the tool primarily for academic, religious, or historical volume interpretations.
-
Be mindful of the approximate nature of the log (Biblical) volume measurement.
-
Consider the impracticality of very large numbers resulting from the conversion for everyday use.
Limitations
-
The volume of the log (Biblical) varies across sources leading to approximate conversion results.
-
Acre-foot measures extremely large volumes while log (Biblical) represents very small volumes, causing very large output values.
-
This conversion is mainly suitable for scholarly, religious, or historical purposes rather than commercial or engineering use.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one acre-foot represent?
-
One acre-foot is the volume of water covering one acre of area to a depth of one foot, equal to 43,560 cubic feet.
-
What is the log (Biblical) unit?
-
The log (Biblical) is an ancient Hebrew liquid volume roughly equal to the volume of six medium chicken eggs, about 0.3 liters.
-
Why convert from acre-foot to log (Biblical)?
-
This conversion helps interpret large modern water volumes in terms of ancient liquid measures for religious, historical, or archaeological analysis.
Key Terminology
-
Acre-foot [ac*ft]
-
A customary volume unit equal to water covering one acre area to a depth of one foot, used primarily in water resource management.
-
Log (Biblical)
