From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Cor \Cor\ (k[^o]r), n. [Heb. k[=o]r.] A Hebrew measure of capacity; a homer. [Written also {core}.] From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Cor This Hebrew word untranslated denotes a round vessel used as a measure both for liquids and solids. It was equal to one homer, and contained ten ephahs in dry and ten baths in liquid measure (Ezek. 45:14). The Rabbins estimated the cor at forty-five gallons, while Josephus estimated it at about eighty-seven. In 1 Kings 4:22; 5:11; 2 Chr. 2:10; 27:5, the original word is rendered "measure."
