What is a hin (Biblical)?

A hin is an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume used historically for measuring oils and wines, approximately equal to 0.5 to 0.6 liters.

What does an acre-inch measure?

An acre-inch is the volume of liquid that covers one acre of land to a depth of one inch, equivalent to about 3,630 cubic feet or 102.79 cubic meters.

Why convert hin to acre-inch?

Converting hin to acre-inch helps translate ancient liquid volume measurements into units commonly used in irrigation, reservoir capacity, and water resource management.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volumes measured in hin (Biblical), an ancient Hebrew unit used for liquids, into acre-inches, a modern unit expressing volume over area. It facilitates understanding and applying ancient measurements in modern water management and agricultural contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in hin (Biblical) that you want to convert.
Select hin (Biblical) as the input unit and acre-inch as the output unit.
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent amount in acre-inches.
Use the result to interpret or apply volume data in irrigation or water resource contexts.

Key Features

Converts hin (Biblical), an ancient unit of liquid volume, to acre-inch, a measure of volume over an acre area.
Based on a specific conversion rate linking hin units to acre-inch volumes for accurate scaling.
Supports academic, archaeological, agricultural, and environmental volume translation needs.
User-friendly interface for quick input and conversion results.

Examples

Convert 10 hin (Biblical): 10 × 0.0000356714 = 0.000356714 acre-inch
Convert 100 hin (Biblical): 100 × 0.0000356714 = 0.00356714 acre-inch

Common Use Cases

Translating biblical volume measures of oils or wines into modern units for study or interpretation.
Planning irrigation by expressing small liquid volumes in terms relevant to field water depths.
Estimating pond or reservoir capacities for agricultural water storage in acre-inch units.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the historical context and approximate nature of hin volumes to interpret results correctly.
Use conversions chiefly for scaling or contextual understanding rather than precise engineering needs.
Apply results to complement studies in archaeology, agriculture, or environmental resource management.

Limitations

Hin (Biblical) is an approximate measurement, with estimates varying between 0.5 and 0.6 liters.
Acre-inch units represent much larger volumes, so small hin values convert to very small acre-inch amounts.
Variations in historical units and modern standards may cause some differences in exact equivalences.
