Cor (Biblical)
The cor is an ancient biblical unit of volume used to measure dry goods, equivalent to approximately 10 ephahs or about 10.3 liters.
History/Origin
The cor originates from biblical times and was used in ancient Israelite measurements. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a measure for grain and other dry commodities, reflecting the agricultural practices of the period.
Current Use
Today, the cor is primarily of historical and biblical interest, with no modern standard equivalent. It is used in biblical studies and historical research to understand ancient measurements and contexts.
Decistere
Decistere (ds) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-tenth of a litre, used primarily in some European countries for measuring liquids.
History/Origin
The decistere originated in the metric system as a subunit of the litre, introduced to facilitate smaller volume measurements. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the litre and millilitre units.
Current Use
Today, the decistere is rarely used in everyday measurements but may still appear in historical contexts or specific regional applications within certain European countries.
