CORUS, OMER, HOMER, or CHOMER, in Jewish Antiquities, a measure containing 10 baths, or 75 gallons and 5 pints, as a measure of liquids; and 32 pecks and 1 pint as a dry measure. The corus or omer was most commonly employed as a dry measure, and was the largest in use among the Jews. It contained, according to the rabbis, 10 ephahs or 30 sata or seals. Corus is the most usual term in the historical writers, and omer or chomer among the prophets.
