What is a hin (Biblical) unit?

A hin is an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume historically used to measure things like oil and wine, roughly equivalent to about 0.5–0.6 liters.

What does petaliter [PL] represent?

A petaliter is a modern unit of volume equal to 10^15 liters, used to describe extremely large volumes such as planetary oceans or astrophysical gas clouds.

Why convert hin to petaliter?

This conversion helps translate ancient liquid volumes into extremely large modern units, useful for scholarly interpretation and scientific comparison across vastly different scales.

Key Features

Converts from hin (Biblical), an ancient unit used for liquids like oil and wine, to petaliter [PL], a unit representing very large volumes.
Suitable for applications in biblical interpretation, archaeology, planetary science, and astrophysics.
Based on a fixed conversion rate linking historical and large-scale modern volume units.
Easy to use, browser-based tool requiring no installations.

Examples

1 hin (Biblical) converts to 3.6666666666667 × 10^-15 petaliters [PL].
10 hin (Biblical) equals 3.6666666666667 × 10^-14 petaliters [PL].

Common Use Cases

Interpreting liquid volume references in biblical laws and ancient Temple rituals.
Academic studies and archaeological reconstructions involving ancient Near Eastern liquid measures.
Comparing ancient volume units to planetary-scale volumes for scientific education or research.
Estimating very large volume quantities in astrophysics and planetary science.

Tips & Best Practices

Keep in mind the hin unit has approximate modern equivalents, so interpretations may vary slightly.
Use this tool primarily for educational, scholarly, or illustrative conversions as petaliters measure enormous volumes.
Double-check your input units to ensure accurate conversion.
Use the tool to bridge historical data with modern scientific volume scales effectively.

Limitations

The hin is an ancient unit whose modern volume equivalent is estimated, leading to minor potential variations.
Petaliters measure volumes at a scale far beyond typical practical use, so this conversion is mostly academic or illustrative.
Direct everyday applications of this conversion are rare due to the vastly different magnitude of the units.
