What Is This Tool?
This online converter helps translate volumes measured in the ancient Biblical cor unit to the stere, a modern metric volume unit. It facilitates interpreting historical and archaeological volume data in today's measurement system.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value measured in cor (Biblical)
-
Select cor (Biblical) as the input unit and stere [st] as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in stere [st]
-
Use the converted result to analyze or record volume measures in modern terms
Key Features
-
Converts dry volume from cor (Biblical) to stere [st]
-
Uses a defined conversion rate based on historical and metric volume units
-
Supports understanding of ancient measurements in modern contexts
-
Ideal for archaeological, biblical, forestry, and agronomy applications
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface
Examples
-
5 Cor (Biblical) equals 1.1 Stere [st]
-
10 Cor (Biblical) equals 2.2 Stere [st]
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting ancient volumes of grain or oil mentioned in biblical texts
-
Reconstructing storage capacities in archaeological research
-
Performing comparative studies of ancient and modern measurement systems
-
Estimating wood or bulk materials volume for forestry and transport
-
Facilitating academic and industrial analysis involving historical volume units
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the context of measurement to ensure correct unit interpretation
-
Remember the cor is an estimated historical unit with volume variations
-
Consider stere measures stacked volume which may differ from solid volume
-
Cross-check conversions when high precision is required for academic purposes
-
Use this tool as a guide for approximate conversions between units
Limitations
-
The cor (Biblical) volume is estimated and may vary between sources
-
The stere measures stacked wood volume, not just solid material
-
Differences in measurement concepts might affect exactness in certain cases
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is one cor (Biblical) equivalent to in stere?
-
One cor (Biblical) is equal to 0.22 stere [st] based on historical volume estimates.
-
Why use stere instead of solid volume units when converting from cor?
-
The stere is used to measure the volume of stacked wood or bulk materials, making it practical for certain industries, even if it measures volume differently from solid content.
-
Can the conversion be perfectly accurate?
-
Since the cor is an ancient and estimated unit, and the stere measures stacked volume, the conversion provides an approximation rather than exact precision.
Key Terminology
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew unit of dry volume approximately equal to 220 liters, used historically for grains and commodities.
-
Stere [st]
-
A metric volume unit equal to one cubic meter, typically used for measuring stacked wood or bulk materials.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to translate one unit of measure into another, e.g., 1 Cor equals 0.22 stere.
