Frä207; √ dubious; כרה, Lag Or. ii. 30, compare Id BN 40,156; כרר, Nö ZMG 1886, xi, 734; Dl Prol. 113 compare Assyrian kâry, and derived from כור (but see now kâru Dl HWB 349)); — סֹלֶת׳כ 1 Kings 5:2; קָ֑מַח׳כ v. 1 Kings 4:2; of חִטִּים v. 1 Kings 5:25 a; plural כֹּרִים of ׳ח and שְׂעֹרִים 2 Chronicles 2:9 (twice in verse); 2 Chronicles 27:5; הַכֹּר as liquid measure (of oil) Ezekiel 45:14. See further Benz Archaeology 183ff. Now Archaeology i. 203, and, on capacity, see III. חֹמֶר f. above; in 1 Kings 5:25 b read בַּת שֶׁמֶן for ᵑ0׳כֹּר שׁ (compare ᵐ5. and 2 Chronicles 2:9). [כּוֺר] noun [masculine] kôr, a measure of wheat (Biblical Hebrew כֹּר); — plural absolute כּוֺרִין Ezra 7:22.
כֹּר m. cor, a measure, both of dry and liquid things, 1 Kings 5:2; Ezekiel 45:14, containing ten ephahs or baths, i.q. חֹמֶר. (The Arameans commonly use כּוֹר, ܟܘܽܪܳܐ for the Hebrew חֹמֶר. The Hellenists also adopted κόρος.) The origin of this word is in its round form, and כֹּר appears properly to signify a round vessel. See the root כָּרַר.
