What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms volume measurements from the metric teaspoon, a small culinary unit, to the cor, an ancient Biblical dry volume measure. It helps bridge modern precise measurements with historical units for research and practical use.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the volume value in teaspoons (metric)
-
Select the target unit as cor (Biblical)
-
Initiate the conversion to receive the equivalent cor value
-
Use the result to interpret volumes in historical or modern contexts
Key Features
-
Converts volume values from teaspoon (metric) to cor (Biblical)
-
Supports understanding of ancient and modern volume comparisons
-
Includes clear examples of conversion calculations
-
Useful for biblical studies, archaeology, and culinary applications
Examples
-
10 teaspoons (metric) equals approximately 0.000227273 cor (Biblical)
-
1000 teaspoons (metric) equals approximately 0.0227273 cor (Biblical)
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring small ingredient volumes for cooking and baking
-
Dosing small liquid medicinal amounts
-
Interpreting ancient Hebrew grain or oil quantities
-
Conducting archaeological studies of ancient storage capacities
-
Comparing Biblical units with modern volume measurements
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify conversions especially when dealing with very small decimal values
-
Understand the context of ancient unit estimations when using cor
-
Use metric teaspoons for small precise volumes to avoid ambiguity
-
Apply conversions carefully in historical or practical research
Limitations
-
Cor (Biblical) volumes are approximate and may differ by source
-
Teaspoon is very small compared to cor, resulting in tiny converted numbers
-
Conversion results require careful interpretation in practical contexts
