What is a cor (Biblical)?

A cor (Hebrew qōr) is an ancient biblical dry volume unit, equal to ten ephahs, used primarily to measure large grain quantities in ancient Israel.

What is a log (Biblical)?

A log is a biblical unit of dry and liquid volume, traditionally based on the volume of six eggs, used for small quantities such as grain, oil, or wine.

How do I convert from cor to log?

You multiply the number of cor units by 720 since one cor equals 720 logs according to historical unit approximations.
