What Is This Tool?
This converter translates volume values from the ancient Biblical cor, a dry measure, into deciliters (dL), a modern metric unit. It is designed to help users interpret old measurements in current contexts such as archaeology, biblical study, and culinary uses.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume amount in cor (Biblical) units into the input field.
-
Select cor (Biblical) as the source unit and deciliter [dL] as the target unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in deciliters.
Key Features
-
Converts an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit (cor) to a metric unit (deciliter).
-
Easy input and output for volume values in both units.
-
Supports interpreting historical, archaeological, and scientific data using consistent modern units.
Examples
-
2 Cor (Biblical) equals 4400 deciliters (2 × 2200 dL).
-
0.5 Cor (Biblical) equals 1100 deciliters (0.5 × 2200 dL).
Common Use Cases
-
Translating quantities of grain or oil from ancient Biblical records into modern units.
-
Supporting archaeological analyses of storage and agricultural capacities.
-
Facilitating historical economic comparisons by converting old units to metric volumes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify unit selections before converting to ensure correct interpretation.
-
Be mindful that large volumes converted can produce large numbers in deciliters.
-
Use converted results to better understand historical texts or for scientific documentation.
Limitations
-
The actual size of the cor (Biblical) may vary slightly in different historical sources, which can affect conversion accuracy.
-
Deciliters are small volume units, so conversions from multiple cor units yield large decimal numbers that should be managed carefully.
Frequently Asked Questions
