What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volume values from ccf, a modern unit representing hundred cubic feet, to the ancient Biblical dry volume measure called cor (Biblical). It helps users interpret contemporary volumetric data in the context of ancient measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in ccf you wish to convert
-
Select ccf as the source unit and cor (Biblical) as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in cor (Biblical)
-
Use the result for scholarly, historical, or comparative analyses
Key Features
-
Converts ccf (hundred cubic feet) to cor (Biblical) dry volume units
-
Based on a precise conversion rate of 1 ccf = 12.8712939055 cor (Biblical)
-
Supports archaeological and Biblical research applications
-
Clear interface for quick volume conversions
-
Browser-based tool with no installation required
Examples
-
1 ccf converts to approximately 12.87 cor (Biblical)
-
5 ccf converts to about 64.36 cor (Biblical)
Common Use Cases
-
Translating modern utility volume measures into Biblical dry volume units for study
-
Assisting archaeological reconstructions of ancient storage and storage capacities
-
Comparing ancient economies and measurement systems with modern volume standards
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the context of your conversion as cor (Biblical) values can vary regionally
-
Use the tool for academic or historical comparisons rather than precise fluid measurements
-
Combine converted values with textual or archaeological evidence for comprehensive analysis
Limitations
-
The cor (Biblical) is an estimated unit that may differ depending on ancient contexts
-
Ccf measures modern fluid volume, while cor is a dry volume unit, so conversions require caution
-
Exact precision is not guaranteed due to interpretative differences in ancient measurement systems
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ccf stand for and where is it used?
-
Ccf stands for hundred cubic feet and is commonly used by utilities to measure volumes of water and natural gas.
-
What is a cor (Biblical) unit?
-
The cor (Biblical) is an ancient dry volume unit equal to 10 ephahs, estimated at about 220 liters, used in Biblical times.
-
Can I use this conversion for precise fluid volume measurements?
-
Because cor measures dry volume and ccf fluid volume, the conversion is best suited for academic and comparative studies rather than precise fluid measurements.
Key Terminology
-
ccf
-
A modern volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet, used by utilities to quantify water and natural gas volumes.
-
cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Biblical Hebrew unit of dry volume equal to 10 ephahs, approximately 220 liters, used in historical and archaeological contexts.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to translate values between two units; here, 1 ccf equals approximately 12.8712939055 cor (Biblical).
