About these units
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.
Stere (st (vol))
A stere is exactly 1 cubic meter, but with a particular association: it was defined specifically for measuring stacked firewood. Logs are irregular, so the stere measures the approximate space that a cubic meter of stacked wood occupies (including air gaps). The stere is still used in France and some other European regions as part of forestry traditions. Firewood sales often use the stere to maintain consistency with historical practices. The stere's survival shows how volume measurement often reflects cultural and economic tradition rather than purely scientific convenience, especially in long-standing industries like wood harvesting.
