What is a metric tablespoon?

A metric tablespoon is a volume measurement normally standardized as 15 milliliters, used for cooking and measuring small liquid or dry ingredients.

What does the Biblical hin measure?

The hin is an ancient Hebrew liquid volume unit approximated at about 0.5 to 0.6 liters, used for measuring liquids such as oil and wine in biblical contexts.

Why might conversion accuracy vary?

Because the hin is an estimated ancient unit with some variability, and metric tablespoon sizes can differ by country, conversion precision can be affected.
