What Is This Tool?
This converter translates volumes measured in the ancient Biblical cor, a dry volume unit historically used for grain and oil, to centiliters, a metric unit commonly used for small liquid measures. It aids in comparing and understanding ancient quantities using modern standards.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cor (Biblical) you wish to convert.
-
Select 'cor (Biblical)' as the from-unit and 'centiliter [cL]' as the to-unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the volume equivalent in centiliters.
-
Review the conversion result based on the standard rate of 1 cor = 22,000 cL.
Key Features
-
Converts from the ancient Biblical dry volume unit cor to centiliter [cL].
-
Based on a fixed conversion rate: 1 cor equals 22,000 centiliters.
-
Supports interpretation of historical and archaeological measurements.
-
Browser-based and intuitive for quick, accurate conversions.
-
Useful for educational and research purposes in biblical and historical studies.
Examples
-
2 cor (Biblical) converts to 44,000 centiliters.
-
0.5 cor (Biblical) converts to 11,000 centiliters.
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting ancient biblical quantities of grain or oil in modern metric units.
-
Assisting archaeological and historical research on storage capacities.
-
Comparative analysis of ancient economies using consistent volume measures.
-
Museum displays and educational content explaining biblical measurement units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the tool to translate ancient dry volume units to modern liquid volume metrics cautiously.
-
Consider the historical context and possible variations in the cor’s size when interpreting results.
-
Apply conversions as approximate equivalents for educational or comparative purposes.
-
Cross-reference conversion results with additional historical or archaeological data when precision matters.
Limitations
-
The cor (Biblical) is an ancient unit with estimated volume values that can vary by scholarly source.
-
Centiliters measure liquid volume, while the cor refers to dry volume, possibly causing minor inconsistencies without accounting for material density.
-
Historical uncertainties and different regional standards limit exact precision in conversions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cor (Biblical)?
-
A cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew unit of dry volume, approximately equal to 220 liters, historically used for measuring grain, oil, and other commodities.
-
Why convert cor to centiliters?
-
Converting cor to centiliters translates ancient dry volume measures into modern metric units, facilitating comparison, analysis, and understanding in research and education.
-
Is the conversion exact?
-
No, the conversion is approximate due to the cor being an ancient unit with estimated values and differences between dry and liquid volume measurements.
Key Terminology
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Biblical Hebrew unit of dry volume approximately equal to 220 liters, used historically for measuring grain, oil, and other dry commodities.
-
Centiliter [cL]
-
A metric unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter (0.01 L), commonly used for small liquid measurements.
