About these units
Decistere (decistere)
A decistere equals 0.1 stere, or 0.1 cubic meters, commonly used when selling smaller amounts of firewood or measuring smaller timber volumes. Homeowners purchasing wood for fireplaces or stoves may find the decistere a more appropriate unit than the stere, because it matches typical household needs. Though not an SI unit, the decistere fits comfortably within the metric system, demonstrating how hybrid traditional-metric units survive in niche contexts.
Log (Biblical) (log)
A log is one of the smallest Biblical liquid measures, approximately 0.3–0.35 liters, or about the volume of a modern cup. Used for oil, wine, and ceremonial purposes, logs appear in priestly regulations for cleansing rituals and sacrificial requirements. The small size reflects its use in precise ritual acts where exact quantities mattered symbolically and practically. Its endurance in rabbinic literature and historical scholarship attests to the precision of ancient ritual systems.
