What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volume measurements from cord [cd], a unit commonly used for firewood, into cor (Biblical), an ancient Hebrew unit of dry volume. It is valuable for those working in forestry, archaeology, or Biblical studies needing to compare or interpret wood or dry goods volumes with historical context.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cords [cd] into the input field
-
Select cord [cd] as the starting unit and cor (Biblical) as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in cor (Biblical)
-
Use the displayed result to compare or interpret volume measurements across contexts
Key Features

-
Supports volume measurements used in modern firewood and ancient Biblical contexts
-
Browser-based and simple to use without installation
-
Provides clear examples for practical understanding
-
Useful for forestry management, archaeology, and historical volume analysis
Examples
-
Convert 2 cords [cd] to cor (Biblical) to get 32.950512398 cor (Biblical)
-

Common Use Cases
-
Measuring firewood quantities in forestry or retail sales
-
Estimating fuel wood requirements for heating in households or facilities
-
Converting and comparing timber volumes in woodlot and forest management
-
Interpreting volumes of grain, oil, or commodities in Biblical Hebrew texts
-
Supporting archaeological and historical studies on ancient storage capacities
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm that volume values entered are in cords [cd] for accurate conversion
-
Use this tool as a general guide when working with ancient or historical volume units
-
Combine this conversion with contextual research for archaeological or Biblical studies
-
Remember that cord volume includes air space and may not represent solid wood alone
-
Cross-check results when applying conversions for forestry or scientific purposes
Limitations
-
The cor (Biblical) unit is approximate and can vary by historical or regional differences
-
Standard conversion rates do not capture all variations in ancient measurement methods
-
Cords measure stacked wood including air gaps, so solid wood volume may be less
-
Conversion results are intended for general reference rather than precise scientific calculations
