Click convert to see the equivalent volume in UK fluid ounces.
Key Features
-
Converts from the Biblical dry volume unit cor to UK fluid ounces accurately based on established conversion rates.
-
Supports historical and archaeological research applications.
-
Browsers-based and easy to use for translating ancient Hebrew measures into modern British imperial units.
Examples
-
1 cor (Biblical) converts to approximately 7742.92 fluid ounces (UK).
-
0.5 cor (Biblical) converts to approximately 3871.46 fluid ounces (UK).
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting quantities of grain, oil, or other commodities in ancient Hebrew texts.
-
Reconstructing ancient storage capacities and agricultural yields in historical studies.
-
Comparing Biblical volume measures with modern British imperial units for academic or archaeological analysis.

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you understand the nature of dry versus liquid volume units and their implications when converting between them.
-
Use this tool primarily for academic, historical, or comparative purposes rather than practical measurement.
-
Refer to modern SI units for precise liquid volume measurements in scientific or engineering applications.
Limitations
-
The cor (Biblical) is an estimated dry volume unit that may slightly vary depending on historical interpretation.
-
Fluid ounces (UK) measure liquid volume, so converting from dry to liquid volume units can introduce inaccuracies based on the substance measured.
-
These units are mostly of historical or academic interest, with modern volume measurement relying on contemporary units.
Frequently Asked Questions
