What is a cor (Biblical)?

The cor is an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit, equal to 10 ephahs, commonly estimated at about 220 liters, often used in Biblical and archaeological contexts.

What is a dram [dr] used for?

The dram is a historical liquid volume unit employed mainly in pharmacy, medicine, and mixology to denote small liquid doses or ingredient quantities.

Can I directly compare cor and dram volumes?

Since cor measures dry volume and dram measures liquid volume, direct comparison assumes equal volumes but does not account for differences in substance state or density.

Consider the system used for dram (Imperial vs US customary) for precise interpretation.
Use the tool as a guide for historical analysis, not as an exact physical conversion.
Cross-check conversions with context from historical sources when needed.

Limitations

Cor is a dry volume unit and dram is a liquid volume unit, so conversions assume volume equivalency despite differing mediums.
Dram volumes vary slightly between Imperial and US customary systems, affecting precision.
The cor’s volume estimate of about 220 liters can differ based on historical interpretation, causing possible variation.
This tool does not provide chemical or physical property adjustments during conversion.
