easton:

Corn @ The word so rendered (dagan) in kjv@Genesis:27:28 kjv@Genesis:27:37, kjv@Numbers:18:27, kjv@Deuteronomy:28:51, kjv@Lamentations:2:12, is a general term representing all the commodities we usually describe by the words corn, grain, seeds, peas, beans. With this corresponds the use of the word in kjv@John:12:24. In kjv@Genesis:41:35 kjv@Genesis:41:49, kjv@Proverbs:11:26, kjv@Joel:2:24 ("wheat"), the word thus translated (bar; i.e., "winnowed") means corn purified from chaff. With this corresponds the use of the word in the New Testament kjv@Matthew:3:12; kjv@Luke:3:17; kjv@Acts:7:12). In kjv@Psalms:65:13 it means "growing corn." In kjv@Genesis:42:1-2, 19, kjv@Joshua:9:14, kjv@Nehemiah:10:31 ("victuals"), the word (sheber; i.e., "broken," i.e., grist) denotes generally victuals, provisions, and corn as a principal article of food. From the time of Solomon, corn began to be exported from Palestine kjv@Ezekiel:27:17; kjv@Amos:8:5). "Plenty of corn" was a part of Issac's blessing conferred upon Jacob kjv@Genesis:27:28; comp. kjv@Psalms:65:13).

Cornelius @ a centurion whose history is narrated in kjv@Acts:10. He was a "devout man," and like the centurion of Capernaum, believed in the God of Israel. His residence at Caesrea probably brought him into contact with Jews who communicated to him their expectations regarding the Messiah; and thus he was prepared to welcome the message Peter brought him. He became the first fruit of the Gentile world to Christ. He and his family were baptized and admitted into the Christian church kjv@Acts:10:1 kjv@Acts:10:44-48). (
See CENTURION.)

Corner @ The angle of a house kjv@Job:1:19) or a street kjv@Proverbs:7:8). "Corners" in kjv@Nehemiah:9:22 denotes the various districts of the promised land allotted to the Israelites. In kjv@Numbers:24:17, the "corners of Moab" denotes the whole land of Moab. The "corner of a field" kjv@Leviticus:19:9 kjv@Leviticus:23:22) is its extreme part, which was not to be reaped. The Jews were prohibited from cutting the "corners," i.e., the extremities, of the hair and whiskers running round the ears kjv@Leviticus:19:27 kjv@Leviticus:21:5). The "four corners of the earth" in kjv@Isaiah:11:12 and kjv@Ezekiel:7:2 denotes the whole land. The "corners of the streets" mentioned in kjv@Matthew:6:5 means the angles where streets meet so as to form a square or place of public resort. The corner gate of Jerusalem ( kjv@2Kings:14:13; kjv@2Chronicals:26:9) was on the north-west side of the city. Corner-stone kjv@Job:38:6; kjv@Isaiah:28:16), a block of great importance in binding together the sides of a building. The "head of the corner" kjv@Psalms:118:22-23) denotes the coping, the "coign of vantage", i.e., the topstone of a building. But the word "corner stone" is sometimes used to denote some person of rank and importance kjv@Isaiah:28:16). It is applied to our Lord, who was set in highest honour kjv@Matthew:21:42). He is also styled "the chief corner stone" kjv@Ephesians:2:20; kjv@1Peter:2:6-8). When Zechariah (10:4), speaking of Judah, says, "Out of him came forth the corner," he is probably to be understood as ultimately referring to the Messiah as the "corner stone." (

Cornet @ Heb. shophar, "brightness," with reference to the clearness of its sound ( kjv@1Chronicles:15:28; kjv@2Chronicals:15:14; kjv@Psalms:98:6; kjv@Hosea:5:8). It is usually rendered in the Authorized Version "trumpet." It denotes the long and straight horn, about eighteen inches long. The words of Joel, "Blow the trumpet," literally, "Sound the cornet," refer to the festival which was the preparation for the day of Atonement. In kjv@Daniel:3:5-7, 10, 15, the word (keren) so rendered is a curved horn. The word "cornet" in kjv@2Samuel:6:5 (Heb. mena'an'im, occurring only here) was some kind of instrument played by being shaken like the Egyptian sistrum, consisting of rings or bells hung loosely on iron rods.
