A bowl or basin of gold or silver used as a sacred vessel in temple service.
This noun designates a bowl or basin crafted from precious metal for use in the temple. All nine occurrences cluster in late texts describing sacred furnishings: David's specifications for gold and silver bowls in 1 Chronicles 28:17, and the inventory of vessels returned from Babylonian exile in Ezra 1:10 and 8:27. The word is related to Aramaic kephora, suggesting a wide, open vessel. Spanish renders it 'taza/copas' (cup/goblets) and French 'coupe' (cup), though the Hebrew specifically evokes the ritual context of temple worship.

Senses
1. bowl, basin — A bowl or basin made of gold or silver, serving as a sacred vessel in Israelite temple worship. Found exclusively in late texts — 1 Chronicles 28:17 (six times in the passage, detailing David's weighed-out specifications for gold bowls and silver bowls) and Ezra 1:10 and 8:27 (listing vessels returned from Babylonian captivity). Spanish 'taza/copas' and French 'coupe' suggest drinking vessels, but the Hebrew term emphasizes their cultic function as temple furnishings rather than ordinary tableware. The Aramaic cognate kephora confirms the sense of a broad, open basin. 9×
