What Is This Tool?
This tool allows users to convert volumes from megaliters, a modern metric unit used mainly for large-scale water quantities, into cor (Biblical), an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit. It supports interpretations of historical and archaeological data by linking contemporary measurements with those from Biblical times.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in megaliters.
-
Select 'megaliter [ML]' as the input unit.
-
Choose 'cor (Biblical)' as the desired output unit.
-
Click the convert button to get the result in cor (Biblical).
-
Review conversion results and use them for your analysis.
Key Features
-
Converts megaliters to cor (Biblical) with a specific conversion rate.
-
Supports volume conversions relevant to hydrology and biblical studies.
-
Provides examples for practical understanding.
-
Browser-based, easy-to-use interface for quick calculations.
-
Useful for academic and historical research.
Examples
-
2 Megaliters equals 9090.91 Cor (Biblical).
-
0.5 Megaliter equals 2272.73 Cor (Biblical).
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting large modern water volumes in terms of ancient Biblical units.
-
Supporting biblical archaeology and historical reconstructions.
-
Studying ancient agricultural and storage capacities.
-
Comparing ancient and modern measurement systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm if dry or liquid volume measurement is appropriate for your purpose.
-
Use the tool for academic, historical, or interpretative contexts.
-
Refer to historical sources when precision of cor volumes is critical.
-
Combine this conversion with contextual research in biblical and archaeological studies.
Limitations
-
The cor (Biblical) volume is approximate and may vary according to sources.
-
Megaliter measures liquid volume; cor traditionally measures dry volume, so they may not be directly interchangeable for all applications.
-
This conversion is intended mainly for historical and interpretive analyses, not for practical modern measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the unit megaliter represent?
-
A megaliter is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000,000 liters or 1,000 cubic meters, commonly used in hydrology and engineering for large water volumes.
-
What is the cor (Biblical) used for?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit used to interpret grain, oil, or other commodity quantities in biblical texts and archaeological studies.
-
Can I directly use this conversion for modern liquid volumes?
-
No, since the cor traditionally measures dry volume and the megaliter liquid volume, this conversion is mainly for academic and historical interpretation rather than practical measurement.
Key Terminology
-
Megaliter [ML]
-
A metric unit of volume equal to one million liters, mainly applied to large-scale water volumes in hydrology and engineering.
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Biblical Hebrew dry volume unit, approximately 220 liters, used for measuring grain and other commodities in historical texts.
