What is a log (Biblical)?

A log (Biblical) is an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume traditionally defined as the volume of six medium chicken eggs, estimated at about 0.3 liters.

What does one decistere represent?

One decistere equals one tenth of a stere, or 0.1 cubic meters, which corresponds to 100 liters, historically used in timber and firewood measurement.

Why convert from log (Biblical) to decistere?
