What Is This Tool?
This tool converts volume values from the cor (Biblical), an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit, into cubic millimeters (mm³), a modern metric unit measuring very small volumes. It facilitates interpreting historical data by expressing it in precise contemporary measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume amount in cor (Biblical) you want to convert
-
Select cor (Biblical) as the source unit and cubic millimeter [mm³] as the target unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent volume in cubic millimeters
-
Review the result to assist with analysis or further calculations
Key Features
-
Converts ancient Biblical volume units to modern metric cubic millimeters
-
Handles large-scale volume conversion accurately for research and analysis
-
Browser-based and straightforward to use without installation
-
Ideal for archaeological, historical, and scientific volume comparisons
Examples
-
2 cor (Biblical) equals 440,000,000 cubic millimeters [mm³]
-
0.5 cor (Biblical) equals 110,000,000 cubic millimeters [mm³]
Common Use Cases
-
Converting ancient Hebrew grain or oil volumes for Biblical text interpretation
-
Supporting archaeological studies on storage capacities in historical contexts
-
Comparing ancient economic measures with modern volume standards
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the tool for digital calculations rather than physical measurement due to scale differences
-
Be aware that the cor is an approximate ancient measure and values may vary
-
Consider the large scale difference when analyzing very small or exact volumes
Limitations
-
The cor unit is an approximate measure and may differ slightly depending on source references
-
Large differences in scale can introduce rounding errors at very precise measurement levels
-
Converting from cor to cubic millimeters is mainly suitable for digital or scientific contexts, not physical measurement
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cor (Biblical)?
-
A cor (also spelled kor or homer) is an ancient biblical Hebrew unit of dry volume approximately equal to 220 liters.
-
Why convert cor (Biblical) to cubic millimeters?
-
Converting cor to cubic millimeters allows for precise volume measurement in modern metric units, aiding detailed analysis in archaeology and historical research.
-
Are conversions from cor to cubic millimeters exact?
-
No, the cor is an approximate ancient unit, so conversions may vary slightly and are best suited for digital calculations.
Key Terminology
