What is a cab (Biblical)?

A cab (also spelled kab or kav) is an ancient Hebrew unit of dry volume mentioned in biblical and rabbinic texts, used mainly for measuring grains, oils, and other commodities.

How large is one cab in modern units?

Modern estimates place one cab between about 1.0 and 1.3 litres, though exact values depend on source and interpretation.

Why convert cab volumes to megaliters?

Converting cab volumes to megaliters helps integrate ancient measurements into modern metric systems for scientific, archaeological, and hydrological studies involving large-scale volume data.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the context of the cab measurement due to variability in estimated volume
Use this conversion primarily for specialized scientific, archaeological, or theological studies
Be mindful that the megaliter is a very large unit, leading to very small converted values
Refer to official sources or scholarly works when precision is critical for research
Cross-check results against known examples to ensure conversion consistency

Limitations

The cab volume varies approximately between 1.0 and 1.3 litres depending on interpretation
This variability introduces uncertainty in precise volumetric conversions
Due to the large scale difference, converted values into megaliters are extremely small
Practical use may be limited to fields requiring large-scale or historical volume analysis
