What Is This Tool?
This conversion tool translates volumes measured in the Biblical cor, an ancient dry volume unit, into milliliters, a contemporary metric unit. It supports research and analysis by converting approximate historical measurements into precise metric values.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume quantity in cor (Biblical)
-
Select cor (Biblical) as the input unit
-
Choose milliliter [mL] as the output unit
-
Run the conversion to view the equivalent volume in milliliters
Key Features
-
Converts from cor (Biblical) to milliliters accurately based on historical approximations
-
Uses a fixed conversion rate where 1 cor equals 220,000 milliliters
-
Suitable for archaeological, biblical, and historical volume comparisons
-
Provides quick calculation with clear example conversions
Examples
-
2 cor (Biblical) converts to 440,000 milliliters
-
0.5 cor (Biblical) converts to 110,000 milliliters
Common Use Cases
-
Translating quantities of grain and oil in biblical texts into modern volume measures
-
Supporting archaeological and historical research on ancient storage and agriculture
-
Comparing biblical volume units with current metric standards for academic studies
Tips & Best Practices
-
Remember that the cor is an approximate ancient unit and may vary contextually
-
Use this tool as an estimate for historical volume conversions rather than an exact figure
-
Cross-check results when applying conversions in academic or practical scenarios
-
Understand the context of the original measurements for accurate interpretation
Limitations
-
The biblical cor is an estimated unit and differs across contexts
-
Conversion results are approximate and should not be seen as exact measurements
-
Variances in ancient volume definitions can affect conversion accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cor (Biblical)?
-
It is an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit, approximately equal to 220 liters, used for measuring commodities in biblical times.
-
How many milliliters are in one cor (Biblical)?
-
One cor (Biblical) is equal to 220,000 milliliters based on historical estimates.
-
Can this converter be used for precise scientific measurements?
-
No, the cor is an approximate ancient measure, so conversions are estimates useful for research rather than exact scientific data.
