What is a cor (Biblical) unit?

It is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit equal to 10 ephahs, approximately 220 liters in volume.

Why convert cor to cubic meters?

To translate ancient dry volume measures into modern standardized units for accurate interpretation and practical use.

Is this conversion exact?

No, the cor volume is estimated and can vary due to historical uncertainties and differences in ancient standards.

What Is This Tool?

This tool enables converting the ancient Biblical dry volume unit called cor (sometimes kor or homer) into the modern SI unit cubic meter (m³). It supports understanding historical quantities and applying them in contemporary volume calculations.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the amount in cor (Biblical) you want to convert.
Select cubic meter [m³] as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent volume in cubic meters.
Refer to provided examples to verify your understanding.
Use the result for historical interpretation or engineering calculations.

Key Features

Converts Biblical Hebrew dry volume units cor to cubic meters.
Supports interpretation of historical agricultural and commodity measures.
Useful for archaeological and scientific volumetric conversions.
Simple browser-based interface for quick conversion.
Provides examples to illustrate conversion calculations.

Examples

5 Cor (Biblical) converts to 1.1 cubic meters (5 × 0.22 = 1.1 m³).
10 Cor (Biblical) converts to 2.2 cubic meters (10 × 0.22 = 2.2 m³).

Common Use Cases

Interpreting quantities of grain, oil, or other dry commodities recorded in ancient Biblical texts.
Reconstructing agricultural yields and storage capacities in archaeological research.
Performing comparative studies of ancient measurement systems and economies.
Engineering calculations requiring conversion of volume units for solids and gases.
Sizing storage or container volumes by converting historical measures.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the unit definitions and context before converting volume units.
Use this tool primarily for dry volume measures as the cor unit traditionally applies to dry commodities.
Cross-check conversion results against historical sources when possible.
Apply conversions consistently when comparing ancient volumes to modern data.
Remember the conversion rate is an approximation based on historical estimates.

Limitations

The volume of the cor (Biblical) is an estimate and may vary due to historical and regional differences.
Conversion is designed for dry volume and may not precisely apply to liquids without adjustments.
Accuracy relies on accepted historical measures and might not fit every context perfectly.
