This term describes bowl-shaped objects serving various functions. In Zechariah's night vision, a golden bowl holds oil for the lampstand, fed by two olive trees. Ecclesiastes uses it metaphorically in death imagery—the golden bowl shattered. Solomon's temple featured decorative bowls as capitals atop pillars. Judges and Joshua mention springs or basins of water called by this name, possibly referring to pool-like formations. The consistent element is the curved, bowl-like shape, whether literal vessels, architectural features, or natural formations.
