What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volume measurements from the Biblical log, an ancient Hebrew liquid measure, to the ton register, a maritime volume unit historically used to quantify ship capacity.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in log (Biblical)
-
Select 'log (Biblical)' as the from-unit
-
Choose 'ton register [ton reg]' as the to-unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent volume
-
Use the result for historical or maritime volume comparisons
Key Features
-
Converts volume from log (Biblical) to ton register [ton reg]
-
Based on an ancient Hebrew unit defined by the volume of six medium eggs
-
Includes maritime volume measurement for ship capacity analysis
-
Useful for archaeology, religious, and maritime contexts
-
Browser-based and easy to use
Examples
-
10 Logs (Biblical) equals 0.001079059 Ton register [ton reg]
-
100 Logs (Biblical) equals 0.01079059 Ton register [ton reg]
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting biblical or Talmudic liquid volume prescriptions
-
Reconstructing ancient household or ritual container capacities
-
Translating Jewish legal measures into modern maritime units
-
Expressing ship internal volume in historical tonnage certificates
-
Calculating port fees or canal dues based on register tons
-
Analyzing archival ship design and cargo spaces
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool to compare ancient liquid volumes with maritime capacity units
-
Be aware of the approximate nature of the log (Biblical) volume
-
Interpret very small conversion results within historical or contextual frameworks
-
Consult maritime history sources when working with ton register values
-
Use the conversion for research and educational purposes where historical units are relevant
Limitations
-
The log (Biblical) volume is an approximate measure based on egg volume estimates
-
Conversions result in very small numbers due to difference in unit scale
-
Ton register is a historical measure largely replaced by modern tonnage standards
-
Not suited for precise contemporary volume calculations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a log (Biblical) used to measure?
-
A log (Biblical) is an ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume, traditionally defined by the capacity of six medium chicken eggs, and mentioned in biblical and rabbinic texts.
-
What does ton register measure?
-
Ton register is a maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, historically used to represent the internal volume of ships in gross or net register tonnage.
-
Why are conversion results very small?
-
Because the log (Biblical) is a much smaller volume unit compared to the ton register, conversions yield very small decimal values.
Key Terminology
-
Log (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew unit of liquid volume roughly equal to the volume of six medium chicken eggs, used in biblical and rabbinic contexts.
-
Ton Register [ton reg]
-
A historic maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, employed to measure ship internal capacity as gross or net register tonnage.
