Log (unit)

A log (Hebrew לוג or וג, Romanized lōḡ) is a biblical and halakhic unit of liquid volume.

[1] The word log occurs in the Bible, in Lev.

14:10, 15, 21 which prescribes the korban (asham, "guilt-offering") of a poor metzorah: The Talmud, citing the gematria of an extra scriptural word ZeH "this," which equals twelve (seven plus five), explains that one hin is twelve log: The Mishnah immediately preceding, which this Gemara comes to explain, states that a half-hin is six log.

[2] A list of conversions follows: The log is believed to have been equal to a little over 500 ml (17 US fl oz); thus, a hin was a little over 6 L (1.6 US gal).
