About these units
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.
Cubic Centimeter (cm³)
A cubic centimeter equals 1 mL, representing the volume of a cube 1 cm per side. This dual identity makes it fundamental in medicine, laboratory science, and engineering. In medicine, cm³ is used when describing organ sizes, tumor volumes, or syringe capacities. In mechanics, engine displacements (e.g., "1500 cc") use cubic centimeters instead of liters, even though 1000 cm³ = 1 liter. The cm³ bridges small-scale measurements with scientific precision, making it indispensable across biology, chemistry, and automotive engineering.
