- קוֹרָה qôwrâh · H6982 · log, beam, rafter
- קוֹרָה is another Hebrew term for a structural beam or rafter in construction. While both מָנוֹר and קוֹרָה refer to wooden beams in building contexts, קוֹרָה appears more frequently (ca. 5 times) and may emphasize the roof-beam or rafter specifically, whereas מָנוֹר appears in contexts of general structural beams. The terms are functionally interchangeable in many construction contexts.

- δοκός dokós · G1385 · beam

Both terms refer to large pieces of timber used in construction.
