Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to deepen or hollow out.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "log" in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew measure not directly paralleled in Greek texts. However, the concept of liquid measurement can be related to Greek terms for measures, such as "χοῖνιξ" (Strong's Greek 5518), which refers to a dry measure, or "μετρητής" (Strong's Greek 3355), a term for a liquid measure. These Greek terms, while not direct equivalents, reflect the broader practice of using specific measurements in ancient cultures. Usage: The term "log" is used in the context of measuring liquids, particularly in the ceremonial and ritual practices described in the Old Testament. Context: The term "log" appears in the context of the Levitical laws concerning purification and offerings. It is specifically mentioned in the instructions for the cleansing of a leper, where a "log" of oil is used as part of the ritual (Leviticus 14:10, 12, 15, 21, 24). The log serves as a precise measurement to ensure the correct amount of oil is used in these sacred ceremonies. The use of a log highlights the importance of exactness and order in the worship practices of ancient Israel, reflecting the broader theme of holiness and purity in the Levitical code. The measurement underscores the meticulous nature of the law and the care with which the Israelites were to approach their relationship with God.
