What is a log (Biblical) unit?

It is an ancient Hebrew volume measurement roughly equal to the liquid volume of six eggs, used in biblical and rabbinic contexts.

How is a hin (Biblical) defined?

A hin (Biblical) is a larger biblical liquid measure equal to 12 log units, historically used for measuring oil, wine, and other liquids.

Why do volumes vary between sources?

Because these units are based on non-standard ancient measures and sources differ, exact volumes are approximate.
