HOMER
Homer
(, cho’mer, a heap, as in Exo 8:14), a Hebrew measure of capacity for things dry, containing. ten baths (Lev 27:16; Num 11:32; Eze 45:11; Eze 45:13-14). In later writers it is usually termed a COR. SEE MEASURE.
The le’thek (, vessel for pouring; Sept. , Vulg. corus dimidius, English. Vers. half a homer) was a measure for grain of half the capacity of the homer or cor, as seems probable from the only passage where it is mentioned (Hos 3:3). See Stud. u. Krit. 1846, 1, 123.
