What Is This Tool?
This unit converter enables users to transform ancient Biblical dry volume measures, specifically the cor (Biblical), into cubic centimeters (cc or cm³). It supports interpretation of historical texts and archaeological data by providing a way to express ancient volumes in modern metric units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cor (Biblical) units you wish to convert.
-
Select the target unit as cubic centimeters (cc or cm³).
-
Click the convert button to receive the equivalent volume in cc.
-
Use the results for historical or scientific analyses where modern volume units are needed.
Key Features

Converts cor (Biblical), an ancient dry volume unit, to cubic centimeters (cc/cm³).
-
Employs a clear, browser-based interface for ease of use.
-
Supports conversions useful for biblical scholarship, archaeology, and historical studies.
-
Provides examples to illustrate conversions for practical understanding.
Examples
-
2 cor (Biblical) equals 440,000 cc.
-
0.5 cor (Biblical) equals 110,000 cc.
Common Use Cases
-
Converting biblical grain or oil quantities reported in ancient texts into modern volume units.
-
Assisting archaeological reconstructions of storage and agricultural capacities from historical periods.
-
Supporting comparative analysis of ancient economies by translating old measures into standard metric values.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the converter for dry volume only, as liquid volumes may differ.
-
Apply conversions carefully in historical or archaeological contexts due to variable ancient standards.
-
Combine numerical results with contextual knowledge for accurate interpretation of ancient measurements.
Limitations
-
The exact size of a cor (Biblical) can vary slightly because of differing historical estimates.
-
Conversions are approximations based on dry volume and may not correspond well to liquids.
-
The imprecision of ancient units limits the exactness compared to modern metric definitions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cor (Biblical)?
-
A cor (Biblical) is an ancient Hebrew unit of dry volume, about 220 liters, used historically to measure quantities like grain and oil in biblical times.
-
Why convert cor (Biblical) to cubic centimeters?
-
Converting to cubic centimeters helps express ancient volume measurements in modern units suitable for historical research and scientific comparison.
-
Can this tool be used for liquid measurement conversions?
-
No, this converter is intended for dry volume units; applying it to liquids may result in inaccuracies.
Key Terminology
-
cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew dry volume unit equal to about 220 liters, used historically to measure grains and other commodities.
-
cubic centimeter (cc or cm^3)
-
A metric unit of volume defined by a cube with 1-centimeter sides; 1 cc equals exactly 1 milliliter.
