Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "log" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew measure not commonly referenced in Greek texts.

Usage: The term "log" refers to a unit of liquid measurement used in ancient Israel. It is approximately equivalent to about 0.3 liters or 0.3 quarts. The log is primarily mentioned in the context of ritual and ceremonial practices, particularly in the instructions for offerings and purification rites.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, precise measurements were crucial for maintaining the integrity of religious rituals and offerings. The log was a standard measure for liquids, especially oil and wine, used in various sacrificial and purification ceremonies. This reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern practice of using specific measurements to ensure uniformity and adherence to divine instructions.
