What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate volume measurements from the bath (Biblical), an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume, into acre-foot [ac*ft], a modern unit used to measure large water volumes. It supports historical, archaeological, and water resources applications by providing a clear conversion method.
How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value measured in bath (Biblical) units
-
Select the target unit as acre-foot [ac*ft]
-
Initiate the conversion to view the equivalent volume in acre-foot
-
Use the converted data for analysis or reporting as needed
Key Features
-
Converts bath (Biblical) volumes to acre-foot measurements accurately using established rates
-
Supports understanding of ancient liquid volume units in terms of modern water resource units
-
Easy-to-use interface for quick volume conversions between ancient and contemporary units
-
Browser-based tool that requires no installation or prior technical knowledge
Examples
-
10 Baths (Biblical) convert to 0.000178357 Acre-foot
-
500 Baths (Biblical) convert to 0.00891785 Acre-foot
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting biblical liquid measures such as oil, wine, or water in modern volume terms
-
Conducting archaeological studies on ancient jar capacities and vessel volumes
-
Converting ancient units for historical, theological, or archaeological research
-
Analyzing large water storage and usage in irrigation or municipal water management
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you input values accurately to avoid errors in small decimal results
-
Use the tool as a guide recognizing that bath volume equivalences may vary among sources
-
Apply the conversion primarily for liquid volumes, mindful of historical measurement contexts
-
Handle very small converted values carefully for clarity in water management reports
Limitations
-
The exact volume of the bath (Biblical) varies among different scholarly sources
-
Converting small biblical volumes results in very small decimal acre-foot values which require precise handling
-
Differences in historical measurement standards may affect absolute accuracy
-
The converter is intended for liquid volume conversions and may not apply to other measurement types
