A log ( Hebrew: לוג, romanized: log) is a biblical and halakhic unit of liquid volume. The word log occurs in the Bible, in Lev. 14:10, 15, 21 which prescribes the korban (asham, "guilt-offering") of a poor metzorah:
The Talmud, citing the gematria of an extra scriptural word ZeH "this," which equals twelve (seven plus five), explains that one hin is twelve log:
The Mishnah immediately preceding, which this Gemara comes to explain, states that a half-hin is six log. Thus a hin is twelve log. [1]
