What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows you to translate volumes measured in milliliters into the ancient Biblical dry volume unit known as the cor. It serves scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in comparing modern metric liquid volumes with historical measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in milliliters in the input field.
-
Select milliliter [mL] as the source unit if not already selected.
-
Choose cor (Biblical) as the target unit for conversion.
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in cor (Biblical).
-
Review the converted result for your analysis or study.
Key Features
-
Supports conversion between metric milliliters and the Biblical cor unit.
-
Easy-to-use interface for quick volume conversions.
-
Accurately reflects the theoretical conversion rate between the units.
-
Useful for Biblical studies, archaeology, and historical research.

Examples
-
500 milliliters converts to approximately 0.0022727 cor (Biblical).
-
1000 milliliters (1 liter) converts to about 0.0045455 cor (Biblical).
Common Use Cases
-
Interpret volumes in ancient Hebrew texts for theological research.
-
Assist archaeological reconstructions of agricultural and storage capacities.
-
Compare ancient measurement systems with modern metric units.
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify unit selections before converting values.
-
Understand that the cor is an approximate historic volume and may vary.
-
Use the tool primarily for academic, educational, or comparative purposes.
-
Consider the distinction between liquid metric volume and ancient dry volume.
Limitations
-
The cor unit volume is an approximate historical measure with estimated variations.
-
Conversion across liquid and dry volumes introduces theoretical assumptions.
-
Practical modern uses for this conversion are limited and mostly academic.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cor (Biblical) unit?
-
The cor is an ancient Biblical Hebrew unit for dry volume, roughly equal to 10 ephahs and estimated around 220 liters.
-
Why would I convert milliliters to cor?
-
This conversion helps interpret ancient Biblical quantities in contemporary terms, especially in historical and archaeological contexts.
-
Is this conversion precise for all applications?
-
No, the cor is an approximate historic measure and differs as it represents dry volume compared to liquid milliliters.
Key Terminology
-
Milliliter [mL]
-
A metric unit of liquid volume equal to one thousandth of a liter and exactly one cubic centimeter, commonly used in laboratories, healthcare, and cooking.
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Biblical Hebrew unit of dry volume equal to 10 ephahs and approximately 220 liters, used in historical and archaeological contexts.
