<p> (לֶמֶר, '' | <p> (לֶמֶר, ''Cho'Mer,'' a ''Heap,'' as in Exodus 8:14), a Hebrew measure of capacity for things dry, containing. ten baths ( Leviticus 27:16; Numbers 11:32; Ezekiel 45:11; Ezekiel 45:13-14). In later writers it is usually termed a COR. (See [[Measure]]). </p> <p> 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 ( Hosea 3:3). See ''Stud. U. Krit.'' 1846, 1, 123. </p> | ||
