What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms volume values from the log (Biblical), an ancient Hebrew liquid measure, into acre-foot, a large unit used for measuring water volumes in reservoirs and agriculture. It supports users in fields like biblical studies, archaeology, and water management.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume in log (Biblical) units you wish to convert
-
Select the output unit as acre-foot [ac*ft]
-
Click the convert button to view the equivalent volume
-
Review the converted output representing large scale water volume
-
Use the results for historical interpretation or water management planning
Key Features
-
Converts ancient log (Biblical) volumes to modern acre-foot units
-
Based on historically attested definitions and modern estimation
-
Useful for interpreting biblical liquid measures in current contexts
-
Supports applications in water resources, agriculture, and research
-
Browser-based and easy to operate with straightforward inputs
Examples
-
10 log (Biblical) converts to approximately 2.477179203247e-6 acre-foot
-
1000 log (Biblical) equals about 0.0002477179203247 acre-foot
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting biblical or Talmudic liquid volume measures
-
Translating ancient ritual and household liquid quantities
-
Reconstructing historical recipes and archaeological capacities
-
Managing reservoir and surface water storage calculations
-
Allocating irrigation water for agricultural applications
-
Expressing municipal and regional water supply volumes
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the measurement context to select appropriate units
-
Be aware of small decimal outputs due to unit size differences
-
Use conversion results primarily for interpretive or research purposes
-
Cross-check with other sources when precise historical volumes are needed
-
Apply the tool for both academic and water management scenarios
Limitations
-
Log (Biblical) volume estimates vary by source and method, affecting exactness
-
Acre-foot as a large volume unit yields very small converted values from log
-
The log unit’s historical nature means modern direct measurement applications are limited
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a log (Biblical) unit?
-
The log (Biblical) is an ancient Hebrew liquid volume unit, traditionally defined as the volume of six medium eggs, approximated to around 0.3 liters.
-
What does acre-foot measure?
-
An acre-foot is a volume unit describing the water needed to cover one acre of area to a depth of one foot, commonly used in water resource management.
-
Why are converted values so small?
-
Because the log (Biblical) is a small liquid measure and the acre-foot is a very large volume unit, conversions result in very small decimal numbers.
Key Terminology
-
Log (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew liquid volume unit, traditionally the volume of six medium eggs, used in biblical and rabbinic contexts.
-
Acre-foot
-
A customary volume unit representing the water covering one acre of land to a depth of one foot, widely used in water resource management.
