Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the bath (Biblical) unit?
-
The bath (Biblical) is an ancient Hebrew liquid volume measure mentioned in biblical and Near Eastern texts, often estimated around 22 liters.
-
What does acre-foot (US survey) measure?
-
An acre-foot (US survey) is the volume of water covering one acre of land to a depth of one US survey foot, used in water resource management.
-
Why might the conversion from bath to acre-foot have uncertainty?
-
Because the bath (Biblical) volume varies among historical sources, conversions to the precise acre-foot unit involve approximations.
