Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from a root corresponding to the Hebrew כּוּר (kûr), which refers to a furnace or smelting pot, indicating a container or vessel. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term is G2884 (κόρος, koros), which also refers to a measure of capacity, particularly for dry goods. This Greek term is used in the Septuagint and other Greek texts to translate the Hebrew כֹּר, maintaining the concept of a large, standardized measure for agricultural products. Usage: The term כֹּר is used in the context of measuring dry goods, particularly grains. It is equivalent to a large measure, approximately 10 ephahs or about 220 liters (6 bushels). Context: The term כֹּר appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the context of trade and commerce. It is a measure used for dry commodities, often mentioned in relation to agricultural produce. The cor is a significant unit of measure, reflecting the agrarian economy of ancient Near Eastern societies. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to convey the substantial quantity of goods, emphasizing the abundance or the economic transactions of the time. The cor is comparable to the Hebrew homer, another large unit of measure, and is indicative of the standardized systems of weights and measures that were in place to facilitate trade and ensure fairness in economic dealings.
