About these units
Deciliter (dL)
A deciliter, 1/10 of a liter, appears prominently in medical diagnostics—especially in blood testing. Many laboratory measurements use dL as the denominator, such as mg/dL for blood glucose or cholesterol levels. In Europe, food packaging sometimes lists nutritional values per deciliter, especially for dairy products and soups. The dL is just large enough to be meaningful while still small enough for dietary and medical precision. Though not as common as liters or milliliters, the deciliter serves specialized roles where moderate scale and medical tradition intersect.
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.
