What is an acre-foot (US survey)?

An acre-foot (US survey) is a volume unit representing the water needed to cover one acre to a depth of one US survey foot, equal to 43,560 cubic US survey feet.

What does the cor (Biblical) measure?

The cor is an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit commonly estimated at about 220 liters and defined as 10 ephahs, used historically for grains and other commodities.

Can I get exact conversions between acre-foot and cor?

Exact conversions are limited due to the cor being an approximate ancient unit and differences in substance types measured, so use these conversions as estimations.
