-
Cross-check results when applying in legal or official religious contexts
Limitations

The exact volume of the log (Biblical) can differ depending on estimation method
-
Pint (UK) is different from US pint; conversions do not apply interchangeably
-
Conversion accuracy may not be absolute due to historical unit variability
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a log (Biblical)?
-
The log (Biblical) is an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume mentioned in biblical and rabbinic texts, roughly equal to the volume of six medium chicken eggs.
-
How much volume does 1 UK pint represent?
-
A UK pint (imperial pint) equals exactly 568.26125 millilitres and is commonly used in UK and some Commonwealth nations for liquid measures.
-
Why should I not confuse UK pints with US pints?
-
The US pint is smaller than the UK pint, so mistaking one for the other will result in inaccurate volume conversions.
