What Is This Tool?
This converter lets you translate volume measurements from cubic centimeters (cc), a modern unit commonly equal to milliliters, into the ancient Biblical dry volume unit cor. It enables users to relate modern metric volumes to historical units used in biblical and archaeological research.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cubic centimeters (cc or cm³)
-
Select the output unit as cor (Biblical) from the options
-
Click convert to see the equivalent volume in cor (Biblical)
-
Use the provided examples for guidance on typical conversions
Key Features
-
Converts volume from cc [cc, cm³] to cor (Biblical) units
-
Supports applications in biblical scholarship and historical research
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick volume translation
-
Reference for interpreting ancient storage and agricultural volumes
-
Includes examples to demonstrate conversion results
Examples
-
1000 cc equals approximately 0.004545454545 cor (Biblical)
-
500 cc converts to about 0.002272727273 cor (Biblical)
Common Use Cases
-
Translating modern volume measurements to interpret Biblical texts accurately
-
Supporting archaeological reconstructions of ancient storage and agricultural yields
-
Comparing ancient measurement systems with contemporary metric units
-
Analyzing quantities of grain, oil, and commodities in historical studies
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure volume inputs are in cubic centimeters for accurate conversion
-
Handle decimal values carefully due to the large difference in unit sizes
-
Use the tool as a reference in conjunction with historical context studies
-
Consider the approximated nature of the cor in archaeological analysis
Limitations
-
The cor is an ancient, approximate unit estimated around 220 liters, so exact volume may differ
-
Conversions yield very small fractional values when converting from cc to cor
-
Precision is limited compared to modern standardized volume units due to historical variations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the cubic centimeter (cc) unit?
-
A cubic centimeter is a volume unit equal to the space occupied by a cube with 1-centimeter sides and is equivalent to 1 milliliter.
-
What does the cor (Biblical) measure?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit, roughly equal to 10 ephahs or about 220 liters, used historically for commodities like grain.
-
Why is converting cc to cor important?
-
It helps relate modern volume measurements to ancient units, facilitating interpretation of Biblical texts, archaeological research, and historical comparisons.
