What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumes measured in the ancient Biblical unit 'cor' into megaliters (ML), a modern metric volume unit used for large quantities of water and fluids.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume in cor (Biblical) you want to convert
-
Select cor (Biblical) as the from unit and megaliter (ML) as the to unit
-
Click convert to get the equivalent volume in megaliters
Key Features
-
Converts from cor (Biblical) to megaliter (ML) accurately using defined conversion rates
-
Easy-to-use, browser-based interface for quick volume conversions
-
Supports understanding and analysis of historical and archaeological volume data in modern terms
Examples
-
5 cor (Biblical) equals 0.0011 megaliters (ML)
-
10 cor (Biblical) equals 0.0022 megaliters (ML)
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting dry volume amounts like grain or oil reported in Biblical texts
-
Reconstructing ancient storage capacity and agricultural production in research
-
Comparing ancient and modern volume units for archaeological and historical studies
-
Expressing ancient volume measures in terms of large-scale water volumes for engineering or hydrology
Tips & Best Practices
-
Consider dry versus liquid volume contexts as cor is a dry volume unit while megaliter typically measures liquid volumes
-
Use this tool for approximate conversions to inform historical or environmental research
-
Interpret converted values carefully since cor measurements may vary by historical source
-
Remember that converted results are often very small fractions of a megaliter due to unit size differences
Limitations
-
The cor (Biblical) unit is approximate and may differ slightly depending on historical interpretation
-
Megaliter units are designed for very large liquid volumes, so small cor values convert to very small megaliters
-
Differences between dry and liquid volume measurements should be considered when using these conversions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cor (Biblical)?
-
A cor (also called kor or homer) is an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit about equal to 220 liters, used in Biblical times for dry goods.
-
What is a megaliter?
-
A megaliter (ML) is a metric unit equal to one million liters, used mainly for measuring large water volumes in hydrology and engineering.
-
Why convert cor to megaliter?
-
Converting cor to megaliter helps translate ancient volume measurements to modern metric units for analysis in archaeological and hydrological contexts.
