The Definition of the word Cor

Cor

This Hebrew word, untranslated, denotes a round vessel used as a "measure both for liquids and solids. It was equal to one homer," and contained ten ephahs in dry and ten baths in liquid measure (Ezek. 45:14). The Rabbins estimated the cor at forty-five "gallons, while Josephus estimated it at about eighty-seven. In 1" "Kings 4:22; 5:11; 2 Chr. 2:10; 27:5, the original word is" "rendered "measure."
