Senses in use

  1. A unit for specified liquid portions · dominant

    The singular noun marks stated quantities and fractions: in Numbers 15:4 the APB renders a fourth for oil, while Numbers 15:5 gives a fourth for wine. Numbers 28:14 sets half, third, and fourth portions for the bullock, ram, and lamb, and Ezekiel 4:11 applies a sixth portion to water. Leviticus 19:36 places the construct form in the clause calling for a righteous measure.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the term as “hin,” often with a fractional quantity and a liquid such as oil, wine, or water. These renderings confirm the clauses' measured-portion context rather than independently defining each occurrence.
