bag, purse, typically for carrying valuables like silver
This loan-word from Arabic designates a bag or purse made of skin or other material for transporting valuables. In 2 Kings 5:23, Naaman's servants carried two talents of silver in such bags, demonstrating their capacity for significant weight. The term also appears in Isaiah 3:22's catalog of luxury items among Jerusalem's elite women, where it likely refers to fashionable handbags or coin purses. Spanish and English translations consistently render this as "bags" or "purses," emphasizing the portable container function rather than ornamental aspects.

1. sense 1 — The two contexts reveal both utilitarian and luxury dimensions. In 2 Kings 5:23, these bags served as robust containers, each holding a talent of silver (roughly 75 pounds). Isaiah 3:22 lists them among ladies' finery alongside jewelry and perfume bottles, suggesting decorative handbags or purses as status symbols. The Arabic cognate خَرِيطَةٌ confirms the basic meaning: a bag made of leather or fabric for carrying possessions. 2×
