What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to perform volume conversions from the US dry pint, a customary unit used mainly for dry agricultural goods, into the biblical cor, an ancient large-volume unit for grain measurement. It helps connect modern measures to historical context.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in pint dry (US) units you want to convert
-
Select pint dry (US) as the source unit
-
Choose cor (Biblical) as the target unit for conversion
-
Click convert to see the equivalent amount in cor (Biblical)
-
Use results to relate modern dry volume to historical biblical units
Key Features
-
Converts US dry pint (pt dry US) to biblical cor volume units
-
Includes volume dry measurement category relevant to agriculture and history
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions
-
Supports understanding of ancient grain quantities for biblical and archaeological research
-
Displays conversion based on established conversion rate
Examples
-
10 pt dry (US) converts to approximately 0.02502775 cor (Biblical)
-
100 pt dry (US) converts to approximately 0.2502775 cor (Biblical)
Common Use Cases
-
Selling and packaging small fruits or seeds using US dry pint measurements
-
Interpreting biblical descriptions of grain quantities in modern terms
-
Estimating ancient grain storage capacities in archaeological studies
-
Modeling historical agricultural production from scriptural and ancient records
Tips & Best Practices
-
Enter values carefully since conversions may produce very small decimals
-
Use the tool to bridge modern and ancient volume measurement systems effectively
-
Apply conversion results for academic research, translation, or educational purposes
-
Consider varying historical definitions when using cor values in analysis
Limitations
-
The biblical cor volume is approximate and varies among historical authorities
-
The US dry pint is a much smaller unit, causing very small converted values
-
Modern and ancient measurement standards differ, affecting precision in reconstructions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a pint dry (US)?
-
It is a US customary dry volume used to measure solid agricultural goods, distinct from the liquid pint.
-
What does the cor (Biblical) measure?
-
The cor is an ancient biblical dry volume unit used mainly for large grain quantities.
-
Why are conversions from pint dry to cor so small?
-
Because the pint dry is a small unit and the cor is very large, resulting in small decimal values.
