Overview:
Kor is a term that appears in the Bible primarily as a unit of measurement. It is used to quantify dry and liquid substances, particularly in the context of offerings, trade, and provisions. The kor is equivalent to a homer, another biblical unit of measurement, and is often mentioned in the context of agricultural produce and temple offerings.

Biblical References:

1. Measurement of Grain and Oil:
The kor is mentioned in the context of measuring grain and oil, which were essential commodities in ancient Israel. In Ezekiel 45:14, the kor is used to describe the quantity of oil required for offerings: "The prescribed portion of oil, measured by the bath, is a tenth of a bath from each cor (which is ten baths or one homer, for ten baths are one homer)."

2. Solomon's Provisions:
The kor is also used to describe the provisions for King Solomon's household. In 1 Kings 4:22, it is recorded: "Solomon’s provisions for one day were thirty cors of fine flour and sixty cors of meal." This highlights the abundance and wealth of Solomon's reign, as well as the logistical organization required to sustain his court.

3. Temple Offerings:
In 2 Chronicles 2:10, the kor is mentioned in the context of Solomon's preparations for building the temple: "Now behold, I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil." This passage underscores the scale of resources dedicated to the temple project and the importance of the kor as a standard measure.

Cultural and Historical Context:

The kor, as a unit of measurement, reflects the agrarian society of ancient Israel, where agricultural produce was a primary economic resource. The use of standardized measurements like the kor facilitated trade and ensured fairness in transactions. It also played a crucial role in religious practices, as offerings were often specified in terms of kors, ensuring that the requirements of the Law were met precisely.

Theological Significance:

The use of the kor in the Bible underscores the importance of order and precision in worship and daily life. By adhering to specific measurements, the Israelites demonstrated obedience to God's commandments and maintained the integrity of their offerings. The kor, therefore, is not just a practical measure but also a symbol of faithfulness and devotion to God's instructions.

Conclusion:

The kor serves as a reminder of the structured and ordered nature of ancient Israelite society, where even the smallest details were governed by divine law. Its presence in the biblical text highlights the intersection of daily life, worship, and obedience to God.KOR
