What is a drop in volume measurements?

A drop is an informal, non‑SI unit representing the volume of one liquid droplet, commonly approximated as about 0.05 mL.

What does cor (Biblical) measure?

The cor (Biblical) is an ancient dry volume unit equal to 10 ephahs, estimated around 220 liters, used for grain, oil, and other commodities in Hebrew texts.

Can I use this conversion for precise scientific work?

No, due to variability in drop size and the nature of cor as a dry volume, this conversion is best for general interpretive or comparative uses.

How to Convert from Drop to Cor (Biblical)?

Convert volume measurements from drop, an informal liquid unit, to cor (Biblical), an ancient dry volume measure, for applications in pharmacology, archaeology, and historical studies.

What Is This Tool?

This conversion tool translates very small liquid volumes measured in drops into the ancient Biblical dry volume unit called cor (also kor or homer). It supports various fields including medicine, culinary arts, and archaeological research by connecting modern and historical volume units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in drops you want to convert
Select 'Drop' as the original unit and 'Cor (Biblical)' as the target unit
Click convert to see the corresponding volume in cor (Biblical)
Use the results to interpret small liquid amounts in terms of ancient large-volume measures

Key Features

Converts from the informal liquid volume unit drop to the ancient Biblical dry volume unit cor
Supports understanding of historical quantities found in Biblical or archaeological contexts
Offers practical use for dosing medications, cooking measurements, and ancient volume comparisons
Browser-based and easy to use without specialized equipment
Includes examples for quick reference

Examples

Converting 10 Drops results in approximately 2.2727e-6 Cor (Biblical)
Converting 1000 Drops results in approximately 0.0002273 Cor (Biblical)

Common Use Cases

Translating very small liquid volumes for pharmacological dosing into historical units
Interpreting quantities of grain, oil, and commodities in Biblical and ancient texts
Supporting archaeological and historical research on capacity and agricultural yields
Comparing ancient measurement systems with modern equivalences

Tips & Best Practices

Remember that the drop is a variable, informal unit depending on liquid and dispensing method
Use conversions mainly for interpretive or comparative purposes rather than precise measurement
Ensure clarity about the difference between liquid (drop) and dry (cor) volumes when applying results
Consult additional resources for detailed archaeological or historical context

Limitations

Drop volume varies with liquid properties and dispensing geometry, creating uncertainty
Cor is an ancient dry volume; direct conversion from a liquid unit is approximate
Suitable mainly for interpretive or comparative usage, not exact scientific measurement
