cho.mer denotes a large quantified amount, used for grain, oil, seed, and gathered quail, and once in imagery of trampled mud.

The dominant use marks a quantified amount in regulations, offerings, valuation, production, purchase, and collection: it is coordinated with smaller quantities and with commodities such as barley, oil, seed, and quail. A single occurrence places the singular form in an image of rulers trampling mud.

1. A quantified amount for goods or produce · dominant

   In Ezekiel 45:11 the singular absolute form supplies the quantity to which the ephah and bath are coordinated; the APB renders the clause with repeated “homer.” Ezekiel 45:13 and Ezekiel 45:14 use the construct and absolute forms in stated portions of wheat, barley, and oil, while Hosea 3:2, Isaiah 5:10, and Leviticus 27:16 place it with barley or seed. In Numbers 11:32 the plural absolute form counts the quail gathered by the least successful gatherer.

2. Mud in a trampling comparison · rare

   In Isaiah 41:25 the singular absolute form occurs in a comparison involving rulers, mortar, and trampled mud; the APB renders the latter part, “like one forming he shall trample mud.” The verse is read as a whole, so the term's individual English equivalent within that image remains less certain than the clause-level sense.

   Isaiah 41:25

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the quantity passages, the APB repeatedly uses “homer,” including in numerical comparisons and commodity phrases. In Isaiah 41:25 it instead renders the surrounding image with “mortar” and “mud”; That wording cannot isolate the term with certainty.
