What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volume values from the Biblical cor, an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit, into hectoliters, a modern metric unit used for bulk liquids and solids. It supports scholars, historians, agriculturalists, and industrial users by bridging ancient and current volume measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cor (Biblical) you want to convert
-
Select the cor (Biblical) as the input unit and hectoliter [hL] as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in hectoliters
-
Review the result to interpret or apply in your study or work
-
Use provided examples to verify conversion accuracy
Key Features
-
Converts cor (Biblical) units to hectoliters [hL] based on established volume equivalences
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation requirements
-
Supports volume analysis for archaeological, historical, and agricultural contexts
-
Provides example conversions for quick reference
-
Facilitates understanding of ancient measurements with modern metric units
Examples
-
Convert 3 cor (Biblical): 3 × 2.2 = 6.6 hectoliters [hL]
-
Convert 0.5 cor (Biblical): 0.5 × 2.2 = 1.1 hectoliters [hL]
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting quantities of grain or oil mentioned in the Hebrew Bible
-
Reconstructing ancient storage and agricultural production capacities
-
Comparing ancient volume measures to modern industrial and agricultural units
-
Measuring bulk volumes in brewing, winemaking, and food storage
-
Supporting archaeological and historical research with unit conversions
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the context of the cor unit since historical values may vary
-
Remember the cor is a dry volume while the hectoliter is liquid-based; consider material density if relevant
-
Use the tool alongside source references for accurate historical analysis
-
Verify example calculations to ensure understanding of the conversion factor
-
Apply rounded values thoughtfully depending on your research or application needs
Limitations
-
The exact volume of the cor (Biblical) can differ by historical region and interpretation
-
This conversion assumes volume equivalency between dry and liquid units without density adjustments
-
Results should be used as approximate values rather than absolute measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is one cor (Biblical) in liters?
-
One cor (Biblical) is approximately equal to 220 liters, representing an ancient dry volume unit.
-
Why convert cor (Biblical) to hectoliters?
-
Converting cor to hectoliters helps interpret and compare ancient volume measures using modern metric units in fields like agriculture and archaeology.
-
Is the cor strictly a dry volume unit?
-
Yes, the cor measures dry volumes, while the hectoliter primarily measures liquids, so the conversion assumes equivalent volumetric capacity.
Key Terminology
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew dry volume unit, equal to about 220 liters, used historically to measure grains and other commodities.
-
Hectoliter [hL]
-
A metric unit of volume equal to 100 liters, used for measuring large liquid or bulk volumes in agriculture and industry.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The numerical factor used to translate one unit of measure into another, in this case 1 cor (Biblical) equals 2.2 hectoliters.
