Easton's Bible Dictionary: M. G. Easton, M.A., D.D.
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 Ki. 4:22, 5:11; 2 Chr. 2:10, 27:5, the original word is rendered "measure."
