About these units
Cab (Biblical) (cab)
A cab is a small Biblical volume measure estimated at roughly 1 liter or slightly less. It was used for grains, spices, legumes, and other dry goods. The cab appears in scriptural narratives to represent modest quantities suitable for household use or famine conditions, making it a culturally meaningful indicator of scarcity or modest provision. Its place in the Hebrew hierarchy—1 cab = 1/6 of a seah (another unit not in your list)—shows how everyday domestic needs shaped measurement scales.
Attoliter (aL)
An attoliter is a staggering 10⁻¹⁸ liters, placing it firmly in the realm of molecular and nanoscale science. This unimaginably small volume corresponds to spaces comparable to the inside of viruses, nanopores, or clusters of biomolecules. Cutting-edge technologies like nano-droplet reactors, atomic force microscopy, and high-precision spectroscopy rely on attoliters to describe reaction chambers or sample sizes. The attoliter is so small that even a single bacterial cell has a volume approximately one million attoliters. This makes the unit essential for exploring the physical limits of chemical reactions and biological processes.
