About these units
Gallon (UK) (gal (UK))
The UK gallon, defined as 4.54609 liters, is larger than the US gallon by nearly 20%. It originated from the British desire to standardize wine and ale measures, leading to a uniform definition during the 19th century. Today, the UK gallon appears in older recipes, fuel consumption discussions, and British Commonwealth trade documents. Although the UK now uses liters for petrol and milk, the gallon remains culturally familiar, especially in automotive contexts such as miles per gallon (MPG), where both imperial and US definitions cause frequent confusion. The UK gallon's legacy persists through its continued use in some Commonwealth nations and specialized industries where imperial measures remain customary.
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.
