What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volume quantities measured in the log (Biblical), an ancient Hebrew unit, into cups (UK), a culinary volume measure used in British recipes. It helps interpret ancient liquid volume references with modern cooking units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in log (Biblical) into the input field.
-
Select 'log (Biblical)' as the input unit and 'cup (UK)' as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in cups (UK).
-
Use the result for recipe adaptation, ritual measurements, or research purposes.
Key Features

-
Provides a precise conversion ratio for practical use.
-
Browser-based and easy to use for varied users.
Examples
-
2 logs (Biblical) converts to approximately 2.15 cups (UK).
-
0.5 log (Biblical) converts to about 0.54 cups (UK).
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting biblical or Talmudic liquid volume references in modern units.
-
Recreating historical or ancient recipes for research or cooking.
-
Translating Jewish ritual volumes into practical kitchen measures.
-
Adapting recipes between ancient and modern measurement systems.
-
Supporting archaeological and religious studies involving liquid measures.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify your input values for accuracy before conversion.
-
Be aware that the log (Biblical) volume can vary slightly by historical interpretation.
-
Consider the UK cup as an approximate measure commonly set near 250 mL.
-
Use the converted values as guides rather than exact laboratory measurements.
-
Cross-check with original sources when precision is critical for research or ritual.
Limitations
-
The log (Biblical) varies historically and by source, so exact volume differs.
-
The UK cup is not a standardized unit and is approximated to about 250 millilitres.
-
Converted values should be treated as approximate rather than exact figures.
-
Practical measurement variations may affect precision in culinary and ritual contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a log (Biblical)?
-
It is an ancient Hebrew liquid volume unit traditionally defined as the volume of six medium chicken eggs and used in biblical and rabbinic texts.
-
Is the UK cup a standardized measurement?
-
No, the UK cup is not an official Imperial or SI unit and is commonly treated as 250 millilitres in modern UK cooking.
-
Why do converted volumes vary slightly?
-
Because both the log (Biblical) and UK cup values vary by historical interpretation and practical approximations.
