Bag
From BibleWiki
- A pocket of a cone-like shape in which Naaman bound two pieces of silver for Gehazi (2Kg 5:23). The same Hebrew word occurs elsewhere only in Isa 3:22, where it is rendered "crisping-pins," but denotes the reticules (or as R.V., "satchels") carried by Hebrew women.
- Another word (kees) so rendered means a bag for carrying weights (Deut 25:13; Prov 16:11; Mic 6:11). It also denotes a purse (Prov 1:14) and a cup (23:31).
- Another word rendered "bag" in 1Sam 17:40 is rendered "sack" in Gen 42:25; and in 1Sam 9:7; 21:5 "vessel," or wallet for carrying food.
- The word rendered in the Authorized Version "bags," in which the priests bound up the money contributed for the restoration of the temple (2Kg 12:10), is also rendered "bundle" (Gen 42:35; 1Sam 25:29). It denotes bags used by travellers for carrying money during a journey (Prov 7:20; Hag 1:6).
- The "bag" of Judas was a small box (Jn 12:6; 13:29).
