About these units
Cup (US) (cup (US))
A US cup equals 8 fluid ounces, or approximately 236.588 mL. It is indispensable in American cooking, baking, and beverage measurement. Although not an SI unit, the cup remains deeply entrenched in recipes, cookbooks, and kitchen culture. Its intuitive size makes it ideal for measuring flour, sugar, liquids, and many everyday ingredients. American cups differ from metric and UK cups, leading to variation across international recipes, but within the US culinary tradition, the cup is a central volumetric tool.
Homer (Biblical) (homer)
The homer, equivalent to the cor, served as the foundational large-scale volume unit in Biblical Hebrew society. Its name derives from a term meaning "load" or "donkey-load," reinforcing its use as a practical, transportable measure. Divided into 10 baths, the homer formed part of a hierarchical system that allowed easy transitions between large and small quantities. The unit's frequent appearance in the books of Ezekiel and Leviticus highlights its importance in religious offerings and economic exchanges.
