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
(Ezekiel 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 Chronicles 2:10; 27:5) the original word is rendered "measure."
