  1. A quantified amount of wheat · dominant

    In Ezra 7:22, the masculine plural absolute form כֹּרִין occurs in the clause listing wheat among provisions with stated limits. The APB renders the list as "up to a hundred kors of wheat," confirming that the term functions as a quantified item in the authorization.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Ezra 7:22, the APB presents the term in the phrase "a hundred kors of wheat." This identifies its place in the provision list rather than establishing a fuller English definition.
