Homer
(לֶמֶר, 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 (לֶתֶךְ, vessel for pouring; Sept. ἡμίκορος, 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.
