Strong's Lexicon kor: Kor, measure, homer Original Word: כֹּר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: kor Pronunciation: kor Phonetic Spelling: (kore) Definition: Kor, measure, homer Meaning: a deep round vessel, a cor, a dry measure Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to round off Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "kor" is not directly listed in Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew measure. However, the concept of measures can be related to Greek terms like "μέτρον" (metron - G3358), which means measure. Usage: The term "kor" refers to a unit of dry measure used in ancient Israel, equivalent to a "homer." It was primarily used to measure grain and other dry commodities. The kor is a large measure, approximately equal to 10 ephahs or about 220 liters (6 bushels). Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the kor was a standard unit of measurement for agricultural produce, particularly grains. It was part of a system of weights and measures that facilitated trade and ensured fairness in transactions. The use of standardized measures like the kor reflects the organized economic practices of ancient societies and their reliance on agriculture as a primary source of sustenance and trade.
