Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the cor (Biblical) unit?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit equal to 10 ephahs, estimated around 220 liters, used in historical and biblical contexts.
-
Can I convert liquids with this tool?
-
This tool converts liters to cor, which is primarily a dry volume measure, so liquid volume conversions may not be directly applicable.
-
Why does the cor unit vary?
-
Variations occur because the cor is an old unit with regional and historical differences, so exact volume equivalencies may slightly fluctuate.
Key Terminology
-
Liter [L, l]
-
A metric volume unit equal to one cubic decimeter, commonly used to measure liquids and solids in modern contexts.
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew dry volume measure approximately equal to 220 liters, used historically in Biblical and archaeological studies.
-
