What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volume values from the US pint, a standard liquid measure, into the Biblical cor, an ancient dry volume unit. It supports interpretation of historical measures by bridging modern US customary units and ancient Hebrew measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume in US pints (pt US) you wish to convert
-
Select the target output unit as cor (Biblical)
-
Initiate the conversion to obtain the equivalent volume in cor units
-
Use the results to assist with historical or scholarly analysis

-
Converts from US pint (pt US) liquid volume to Biblical cor dry volume
-
Based on precise conversion rate tying modern and ancient units
-
Ideal for scholars interpreting Biblical texts and historical data
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Examples
-
Convert 5 US pints to cor: results in approximately 0.010754011 cor
-

-
Understanding quantities of grain or oil stated in ancient Biblical records
-
Reconstructing storage and agricultural volumes from historical contexts
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Remember that pint (US) measures liquid volume; cor measures dry volume
-
Use this tool cautiously where dry-to-liquid volume conversion nuances exist
-
Apply results in scholarly and archaeological research contexts
-
Cross-reference with additional sources when precise measurement is critical
Limitations
-
Conversion relates a liquid volume unit to a dry volume unit, which may affect interpretation
-
The exact modern equivalent of the cor varies, generally estimated near 220 liters
-
Historical measurement differences may introduce uncertainties in direct conversion
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What units does this converter transform?
-
It converts from the US pint, a liquid volume measure, to the Biblical cor, an ancient dry volume unit.
-
Why convert between these two different volume units?
-
Converting helps interpret historical and Biblical texts that use ancient volume measurements, connecting them to modern units.
-
Is the cor unit precisely defined today?
-
The cor's exact modern value varies by source and is generally estimated around 220 liters, so precision can vary.
