cor a Hebrew dry measure for grain, flour, etc., of between ten and twelve bushels or about 390 liters
1 LUK 16:7 Though in the Greek text of LUK 16:7 the number of cors is given as a hundred, it may not be particularly important to preserve the numeral as in the previous item (LUK 16:6 in 81.20), for at least in English the expression ‘a thousand’ may have a similar symbolic significance of a huge amount.
