What Is This Tool?
This volume converter translates the ancient Hebrew unit called cab (Biblical) into the cubic foot, a widely used modern unit in US customary and imperial systems. The cab was historically used to measure dry commodities like grain and oil as described in biblical and rabbinic texts. The cubic foot quantifies volume in engineering, trade, and building design.

Combine with other measurement conversions for comprehensive analyses
Limitations
-
The cab unit’s volume varies roughly from 1.0 to 1.3 litres causing conversion inconsistencies
-
Historical measurement standards differ, introducing uncertainty in exact values
-
Cubic foot is a modern unit; this conversion serves as an approximation bridging ancient and current systems
-
Not suitable where highly precise volumetric measurements are required
-
Conversions should be interpreted carefully when used in legal or technical settings
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cab (Biblical)?
-
A cab is an ancient Hebrew unit of dry volume mentioned in biblical and rabbinic texts, used historically to measure commodities like grain and oil.
