What does the cor (Biblical) measure?

The cor is an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit used mainly for grain and other commodities, equal to ten ephahs and about 220 liters.

Why convert a dry volume to a liquid volume?

This conversion helps researchers relate Biblical dry measures to historic liquid dispensing units, valuable in archaeology and pharmaceutical studies.

Is the conversion exact?

The cor's size varies historically, so while the conversion uses established rates, there may be approximations depending on context.

Examples

2 Cor (Biblical) converts to 7,433,200.838523 Minim (UK).
0.5 Cor (Biblical) equals 1,858,300.2096307 Minim (UK).

Common Use Cases

Interpreting grain or commodity volumes reported in Biblical texts.
Researching ancient storage and agricultural measurements in archaeology.
Comparing ancient economic units to modern measurements.
Studying old pharmaceutical prescriptions and apothecary dosing systems.

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify the context when converting from dry to liquid units as they represent different substance states.
Use this tool for historical or research purposes, mindful of the cor’s regional and temporal variability.
Double-check large results carefully due to the vast difference in unit sizes.

Limitations

The cor is an approximate historical unit whose size varied over time and place.
Converting between a large dry volume unit and a very small liquid volume unit leads to very large numbers.
Context matters because the cor and minim measure different physical quantities (dry vs liquid).
