What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms volumes measured in the biblical cor into seah, both ancient dry volume units referenced in Hebrew scripture. It supports interpreting biblical texts, archaeological data, and historical agricultural records by converting large grain measures into smaller, scripturally relevant units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the quantity in cor (Biblical) you wish to convert
-
Select 'cor (Biblical)' as the input unit
-
Choose 'seah (Biblical)' as the output unit
-
Click convert to view the equivalent volume in seah
-
Use results for biblical interpretation or archaeological research
Key Features
-
Converts cor to seah based on historical biblical volume units
-
Facilitates understanding of ancient grain measurements in scripture and law
-
Supports biblical scholarship, archaeology, and museum curation
-
Simple interface for quick volume conversions
-
Provides examples for accurate usage
Examples
-
2 Cors (Biblical) equal 60 Seah (Biblical)
-
0.5 Cor (Biblical) equals 15 Seah (Biblical)
-
Convert larger cor values to seah for better scriptural volume understanding
Common Use Cases
-
Translating biblical grain quantities into corresponding smaller units
-
Estimating storage volumes in ancient granaries and jars
-
Modeling agricultural production and taxation in ancient documents
-
Preparing museum labels with accurate ancient volume estimates
-
Supporting exegetical studies on scriptural grain laws and offerings
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify the context of biblical measurements before conversion due to varying volume estimates
-
Use the approximate conversion factor of 1 Cor = 30 Seah for calculations
-
Apply conversions for scriptural or archaeological interpretation rather than precise modern engineering
-
Cross-reference converted values with historical sources when possible
-
Remember that these units are mostly historical and may vary depending on authority
Limitations
-
Exact volumes for cor and seah differ among scholarly sources and historical periods
-
Units are not standardized in modern measurement systems; conversions are approximate
-
Variations over time and place may affect direct comparability of results
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the conversion rate from cor to seah?
-
The conversion rate is 1 cor (Biblical) equals 30 seah (Biblical).
-
Why are these units used in conversions?
-
These units appear in biblical texts and archaeological contexts to measure dry volume, mainly of grains and flour.
-
Can I use this converter for modern measurements?
-
No, these biblical units are historical and not standardized today, so conversions are approximate and intended for scholarly use.
Key Terminology
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient biblical dry volume unit, often defined as ten ephahs, used chiefly to measure large grain quantities.
-
Seah (Biblical)
-
A biblical dry volume unit equal to one third of an ephah, commonly around 7.3 liters, used in scripture and archaeology.
-
Dry Volume
-
Measurement of space occupied by dry goods such as grain or flour, as opposed to liquid volume.
