About these units
Gallon (US) (gal (US))
The US gallon is defined as exactly 231 cubic inches, or 3.785411784 liters. It is widely used in American commerce for gasoline, milk, water, and other household liquids. Its historical roots lie in old English wine and ale gallons, whose varying definitions ultimately led to divergent US and UK systems. Today, the US gallon remains deeply embedded in American culture, especially in automotive contexts—fuel economy ratings such as "miles per gallon" (MPG) illustrate its everyday relevance. Despite the global shift toward metric volume units, the US gallon persists due to familiarity and regulatory inertia. It remains an iconic unit, symbolizing uniquely American measurement traditions.
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.
