About these units
Fluid Ounce (US) (fl oz (US))
A US fluid ounce is approximately 29.5735 milliliters. It is not a unit of weight, despite sometimes being confused with the avoirdupois ounce. In beverage serving sizes, cooking, and pharmaceuticals, the fluid ounce provides a flexible unit for small to medium volumes. It serves as the basis for bartending measurements, packaging labels, and nutritional information. Its precise value derives from the US gallon, making the fluid ounce a key link in the US customary volume system.
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.
