About these units
Cor (Biblical) (cor)
The cor, also called a homer, is a large ancient Hebrew volume unit often estimated at 220–230 liters. It was used primarily for dry goods like grain but sometimes also referenced for liquids such as oil. Because the cor was large, it played a central role in agricultural recordkeeping, taxation, and royal provisioning. References in the Hebrew Bible describe tribute, temple offerings, and agricultural yields in cors, indicating its prominence in early economic systems. The cor's size reveals the scale of ancient farming operations, where grain harvests needed units big enough to represent substantial quantities.
Teaspoon (US) (tsp (US))
The US teaspoon equals 4.92892 mL, though rounded to 5 mL in most practical applications. Before standardization, teaspoon sizes varied widely across households and manufacturers. With the rise of packaged foods, pharmaceuticals, and industrial recipes, the US standardized teaspoon values brought consistency to cooking and medicine. Today, the teaspoon remains the most common household unit for measuring small amounts—especially spices, extracts, and medicines.
