A hin is a biblical unit of volume used to measure liquids, approximately equivalent to 4.55 liters or 1.2 gallons.
History/Origin
The hin originates from ancient Hebrew measurements and is frequently mentioned in biblical texts, particularly in the context of sacrificial offerings and ritual purification, dating back to the early centuries of the first millennium BCE.
Current Use
