What is a cab (Biblical) unit used for?

A cab is an ancient Hebrew dry volume measure used for quantities of grain, oil, and other commodities, mentioned in biblical and rabbinic texts.

What does stere measure?

The stere is a metric volume unit equal to one cubic metre, commonly used to measure the volume of stacked wood or bulk materials.

Is the conversion from cab to stere exact?

No, the conversion is approximate due to historical variations in the cab unit and the nature of the stere measuring stacked volumes including air gaps.

Common Use Cases

Translating ancient volumetric measures for archaeological or biblical research
Interpreting quantities of grain, oil, and offerings mentioned in religious texts
Converting volume measurements for timber, firewood, or woodfuel management
Applying biblical volume terms to modern contexts in forestry and wood-processing
Estimating bulk material volumes for storage and transport

Tips & Best Practices

Understand that cab volumes vary historically and consider context when interpreting results
Remember stere measures stacked volume including air space, not just solid content
Use the tool as an approximation to aid comparisons and practical use
Cross-check conversions when precise volume measurements are crucial
Leverage example conversions to ensure accuracy of input and output

Limitations

The cab (Biblical) volume is approximate and varies from 1.0 to 1.3 litres depending on historical source
The stere measures volume including empty spaces in stacked materials, so it's not purely solid volume
Direct conversions are estimations and may not be exact for all applications
Precision depends on context and should be verified for legal or scientific use
