What is a hin (Biblical)?

A hin is an ancient Hebrew liquid volume unit used in biblical times for measuring liquids like oil and wine, roughly estimated to be about 0.57 liters.

What does one acre-foot represent?

An acre-foot is the volume that covers one acre of area to a depth of one foot, commonly used to measure large volumes of water.

Why convert hin to acre-foot?

Converting hin to acre-foot helps contextualize ancient liquid volumes within modern large-scale water volume units useful in academic and resource management fields.

Offers illustrative examples for quick understanding of conversion results.

Examples

10 hin (Biblical) equals approximately 0.000029726150438963 acre-foot.
100 hin (Biblical) converts to about 0.00029726150438963 acre-foot.

Common Use Cases

Converting and interpreting biblical liquid volumes for academic or archaeological research.
Integrating ancient volume measures into hydrology and environmental resource planning.
Quantifying old ritual or household liquid volumes using modern water storage units.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the converter for educational or research purposes to relate historical and modern volume units.
Be aware of the approximate nature of the hin volume when interpreting results.
Apply the tool mainly for contextual understanding rather than precise water resource calculations.

Limitations

The hin is an approximate historical measurement with volume variations, so conversions are estimates.
Acre-foot represents very large volumes, making conversions from hin typically result in extremely small values.
Converted values may be negligible for practical water management but useful for academic context.
