About these units
Hin (Biblical) (hin)
The hin is a smaller Biblical liquid measure, estimated at roughly 3.7–4 liters, or 1/6 of a bath. It was used primarily for ritual offerings, such as anointing oils and sacrificial libations. Because hin-sized quantities were manageable and portable, priestly instructions in Exodus and Leviticus frequently specify hin measurements for ceremonial mixtures. The hin illustrates how ancient systems used proportional units to structure both sacred and economic activities.
Stere (st (vol))
A stere is exactly 1 cubic meter, but with a particular association: it was defined specifically for measuring stacked firewood. Logs are irregular, so the stere measures the approximate space that a cubic meter of stacked wood occupies (including air gaps). The stere is still used in France and some other European regions as part of forestry traditions. Firewood sales often use the stere to maintain consistency with historical practices. The stere's survival shows how volume measurement often reflects cultural and economic tradition rather than purely scientific convenience, especially in long-standing industries like wood harvesting.
