Dict: smith - CORN

smith:

CORN - C>@ - The most common kinds were wheat, barley, spelt, Authorized Version, kjv@Exodus:9:32) and Isai 28:25 "Rye;" kjv@Ezekiel:4:9) "fitches" and millet; oats are mentioned only by rabbinical writers. Our Indian corn was unknown in Bible times. Corn-crops are still reckoned at twentyfold what was sown, and were anciently much more. kjv@Genesis:41:22) The Jewish law permitted any one in passing through a filed of standing corn to pluck and eat. (23:25) see also kjv@Matthew:12:1 From Solomon’s time, ( kjv@2Chronicles:2:10 kjv@2Chronicles:2:15) as agriculture became developed under a settled government, Palestine was a corn-exporting country, and her grain was largely taken by her commercial neighbor Tyre. kjv@Ezekiel:27:17) comp. kjv@Amos:8:5

CORNELIUS - C>@ - (of a horn), a Roman centurion of the Italian cohort stationed in Caesarea, kjv@Acts:10:1) etc., a man full of good works and alms-deeds. With his household he was baptized by St. Peter, and thus Cornelius became the firstfruits of the Gentile world to Christ.

CORNER - C>@ - The "corner" of the field was not allowed, kjv@Leviticus:19:9) to be wholly reaped. It formed a right of the poor to carry off what was so left, and this was a part of the maintenance from the soil to which that class were entitled. Under the scribes, minute legislation fixed one-sixtieth as the portion of a field which was to be left for the legal "corner." The proportion being thus fixed, all the grain might be reaped, and enough to satisfy the regulation subsequently separated from the whole crop. This "corner" was, like the gleaning, tithe-free.

CORNERSTONE - C>@ - a quoin or cornerstone, of great importance in binding together the sides of a building. The phrase "corner-stone" is sometimes used to denote any principal person, as the princes of Egypt, kjv@Isaiah:19:13) and is thus applied to our Lord. kjv@Isaiah:28:16; kjv@Matthew:21:42; kjv@1Peter:2:6-7)

CORNET - C>@ - (Heb. shophar), a loud-sounding instrument, made of the horn of a ram or a chamois (sometimes of an ox), and used by the ancient Hebrews for signals, kjv@Leviticus:25:9) and much used by the priests. ( kjv@1Chronicles:15:28)
