What is a hin (Biblical) unit?

A hin is an ancient Hebrew liquid volume unit used for measuring substances like oil and wine, typically considered about 0.5–0.6 liters.

What does dekastere measure?

Dekastere is a metric-related volume unit equal to ten steres or 10 cubic meters, often used in forestry and bulk storage.

Why do conversions from hin to dekastere result in very small numbers?

Because hin measures small liquid volumes and dekastere measures large bulk volumes, the converted values are small decimal numbers.
