kor [Hebrew, כֹּר]

An ancient Hebrew unit of liquid capacity, about 230 liters. It had the same volume as the homer, a dry measure.

In the King James translation of the Bible, in Ezekiel 45:14 kor is translated “cor,” but in 1 Kings 5:11 the kor is translated “measure.”

In Talmudic measures, the kor is a measure of dry capacity.
