What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate volumes measured in the Biblical dry unit called cor into the liquid measure known as the log. It is designed for users working with ancient Hebrew texts, archaeological data, and religious contexts to understand and apply historical volume units accurately.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cor (Biblical) you want to convert
-
Select cor (Biblical) as the 'From' unit and log (Biblical) as the 'To' unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in logs
-
Interpret results considering the context of dry vs. liquid measures
-
Use the output to assist in biblical text interpretation or research
Key Features

-
Supports historical and religious research applications
-
Provides clear and straightforward conversion for practical use
-
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
Examples
-
2 cor (Biblical) converts to 1440 log (Biblical)
-
0.5 cor (Biblical) is equivalent to 360 log (Biblical)
-
1 cor (Biblical) equals 720 log (Biblical)
Common Use Cases
-
Analyzing biblical quantities of grain, oil, and other commodities
-
Reconstructing ancient storage and agricultural yields in archaeology
-
Translating halachic measurements into modern practical terms
-
Studying ancient economies and their measurement systems

Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify whether the volume relates to dry or liquid substances before converting
-
Consider historical and regional variations when applying conversion values
-
Use this tool to support, not replace, scholarly research and expert consultation
-
Cross-reference with modern metric units if needed for practical applications
-
Maintain awareness that conversion results are approximate due to unit differences
Limitations
-
The cor and log units are approximations based on ancient definitions
-
Cor is a dry volume unit; log is a liquid volume unit, requiring contextual understanding
-
Conversion values may vary based on historical and regional measurement methods
-
Estimates are not suited for precision-dependent scientific calculations
-
Direct volume equivalence may be imprecise due to differing substance types
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does one cor (Biblical) represent?
-
One cor (Biblical) is an ancient dry volume unit approximately equal to 10 ephahs or about 220 liters used in Biblical Hebrew contexts.
-
How many log (Biblical) units are in one cor?
-
One cor equals 720 logs, where log is a smaller Biblical liquid volume measure.
-
Can I directly compare cor and log volumes?
-
Since cor measures dry volume and log measures liquid volume, direct comparisons require careful consideration of context and substance.
Key Terminology
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit, roughly 220 liters, used mainly for grain and commodities.
-
Log (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew liquid volume measure, approximately equal to the volume of six chicken eggs or about 0.3 liters.
-
