What is a hin (Biblical)?

A hin is an ancient Hebrew unit for measuring liquid volumes like oil or wine, typically defined as 12 log units and estimated at about 0.5 to 0.6 liters.

Why convert hin to cubic meters?

Converting hin to cubic meters allows ancient liquid volumes to be expressed in modern SI units for scientific, archaeological, and engineering purposes.

Is the conversion from hin to cubic meters exact?

No, the conversion is approximate due to variability in the historical measurement of the hin and requires context-sensitive interpretation.

Tips & Best Practices

Recognize that hin is an approximate ancient measure with some variability
Consider historical and regional context when interpreting hin volumes
Use the conversion as an estimate and not an exact value
Apply results alongside archaeological or engineering expertise for accuracy
Consult multiple sources if precise volume equivalence is critical

Limitations

The hin is a historic unit with volume estimates varying between 0.5 and 0.6 liters
Conversion results are approximate and should not be treated as exact
Context matters due to regional and temporal differences in hin measurements
Not suitable where precise volume measurement is mandatory

Key Terminology

Hin (Biblical): An ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume traditionally equal to about 0.5 to 0.6 liters, used in biblical and archaeological contexts.
Cubic Meter [m^3]: The SI unit of volume defined as the amount of space in a cube with edges one meter in length; used for solids, liquids, and gases.
Log: A smaller ancient Hebrew unit that is part of the traditional definition of the hin, with 12 logs equaling one hin.
