What is the cor (Biblical) unit used for?

The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit traditionally used to measure commodities like grain and oil in historical and archaeological contexts.

What does the US minim measure?

The US minim is a small liquid volume unit historically used in pharmacy and medicine for measuring very small doses.

Can I use this converter for practical everyday volume conversions?

No, due to the nature and size difference of the units, this converter is intended mainly for theoretical, historical, or research purposes rather than daily use.

Is the conversion from cor to minim exact?

The conversion uses an established factor but the cor’s volume value can vary based on historical sources, so the result is approximate.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volume quantities from the Biblical unit cor, an ancient dry measure, into the US minim, a small liquid volume unit used in pharmacy. It helps bridge historical and pharmaceutical contexts for accurate unit translation.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the quantity in cor (Biblical) that you want to convert
Select cor (Biblical) as the starting unit and minim (US) as the target unit
Click the convert button to view the equivalent volume in minim (US)
Use the results for academic, pharmaceutical, or interpretive purposes

Key Features

Converts large ancient dry volume units to very small liquid volume units
Includes historically significant units relevant for archaeology and pharmacology
Easy browser-based interface for quick calculations
Provides exact conversion rates based on recognized definitions
Supports contextual understanding in both historical and pharmaceutical applications

Examples

1 cor (Biblical) equals approximately 3,570,760.8 minim (US)
Half a cor (0.5 cor) converts to about 1,785,380.4 minim (US)

Common Use Cases

Interpreting Biblical quantities of grain, oil, or other commodities
Conducting archaeological comparisons of ancient dry storage volumes
Translating historical apothecary liquid doses into modern units
Performing research in pharmacology using old dosing units
Comparing ancient and modern volume measurements in academic studies

Tips & Best Practices

Remember cor measures dry volume, while minim measures liquids; use conversions carefully
Apply conversions mainly for theoretical, educational, or research purposes
Cross-check with historical sources as cor values might vary in different texts
Use the provided exact conversion rate for consistent results
Complement this tool with additional historical and pharmaceutical references

Limitations

Cor is a dry volume unit; minim is for liquid volume, so conversions imply volume equivalency despite differing states
The large difference in unit size leads to very large numbers that are mostly theoretical
Cor unit values vary slightly depending on historical interpretation sources
Not intended for practical, everyday volume conversions
Conversion assumes equivalence that may not apply in real-world substance measurements

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the conversion from cor to minim exact?: The conversion uses an established factor but the cor’s volume value can vary based on historical sources, so the result is approximate.

Key Terminology

Cor (Biblical): An ancient Hebrew dry volume unit equal to 10 ephahs, commonly about 220 liters, used in biblical and archaeological contexts.
Minim (US): A traditional apothecary liquid volume unit equal to 1/60 of a US fluid dram, historically used for measuring small medical doses.
Conversion Rate: The numerical factor used to translate one unit of measurement into another, here defined as 1 cor equals approximately 3,570,760.8 minim.

Quick Knowledge Check

What type of volume does the cor (Biblical) measure?

Liquid volume

Dry volume

Weight

The US minim is primarily used to measure:

Large liquid quantities

Very small liquid volumes

Dry agricultural produce

Why are conversions from cor to minim mostly theoretical?

Because they involve different substances

Due to the large size difference between units

Because minim is not a volume unit
