What is a cor (Biblical)?

The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew unit of dry volume, roughly estimated to be about 220 liters, used to measure quantities like grain and oil.

How is the microliter defined?

A microliter is one millionth of a liter and is commonly used to measure very small volumes of liquids in scientific and medical fields.

Can I use this conversion for liquid measurements?

While the conversion provides volume equivalence, the cor is traditionally a dry measure and the microliter is a liquid measure, so physical states differ and should be considered.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volume measurements from the ancient Biblical unit cor (also known as kor or homer) into microliters, a modern unit measuring very small liquid volumes. It's designed to facilitate comparisons between historical dry volumes and contemporary precise liquid quantities.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value measured in cor (Biblical) units.
Select cor (Biblical) as the source unit and microliter [µL] as the target unit.
Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent volume in microliters.
Use the results to compare or analyze ancient and modern volume data.

Key Features

Converts cor (Biblical) units of dry volume into microliters (µL).
Based on a defined conversion rate: 1 cor equals 220,000,000 microliters.
Supports interpretation of ancient measurements within modern contexts.
Browser-based and easy to use for scholarly and laboratory needs.
Helps bridge historical data with precise scientific volume units.

Examples

2 cor (Biblical) converts to 440,000,000 microliters.
0.5 cor (Biblical) converts to 110,000,000 microliters.

Common Use Cases

Interpreting quantities of grain, oil, and other commodities in Biblical texts.
Supporting archaeological and historical studies of ancient storage capacities.
Comparing ancient economic measurements with current volume units.
Facilitating precise volumetric measurements in laboratory analysis referencing Biblical volumes.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the context of the cor unit as it was a dry volume measure.
Consider the physical state differences when interpreting results (dry vs liquid).
Use this tool as a guide for comparative studies rather than exact physical equivalence.
Employ the converter alongside historical and scientific research for best results.

Limitations

The cor measures dry volume, whereas microliters measure liquid volumes, so the conversion assumes volume equivalence but ignores state differences.
The exact volume of the cor has historical variability, causing some uncertainty in conversions.
Converted microliter values can be very large, which may not be practical for typical laboratory volumes.
