Tool, implement, or equipment (possibly related to sharpness; collective term for implements used in daily work)
This rare noun appears only in Deuteronomy 23:13, where it refers to equipment or implements carried by an Israelite when going out to relieve themselves. The term may derive from a root meaning "sharp," suggesting tools or implements that require an edge. Cognate forms in Aramaic refer to weapons or tools. The context suggests practical equipment for maintaining hygiene in the camp, part of the holiness regulations for Israel's military encampments.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Refers to physical equipment or tools carried for practical purposes. The Deuteronomy 23:13 passage prescribes that each person carry a digging implement as part of the camp's sanitation protocol. The multilingual glosses (equipment, cinto/belt) reflect uncertainty about the exact implement, though the functional context is clear: a tool for maintaining cleanliness in accordance with divine holiness standards. 1×
