mortar, hollow place (bowl-shaped depression)
A bowl-shaped depression or hollow, named for its resemblance to a mortar used for grinding. The term appears in two quite different contexts. Judges 15:19 describes a hollow place in Lehi where God miraculously provided water for Samson—a geological feature. Proverbs 27:22 uses the literal grinding mortar in a proverb about the incorrigibility of fools. Zephaniah 1:11 applies the name to a district of Jerusalem, probably a valley or depression within the city where merchants gathered. The semantic link across all uses is the bowl-shaped, concave form.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — A mortar (grinding bowl) or hollow place resembling one. Judges 15:19 describes a geological hollow at Lehi from which water flowed for Samson. Proverbs 27:22 refers to an actual grinding mortar used with pestle. Zephaniah 1:11 probably uses it as a place name for a market district in Jerusalem shaped like a depression or hollow. Cross-linguistic evidence shows the dual usage—hollow place/basin versus grinding mortar—with translators sometimes preserving the Hebrew when uncertain of context. 2×
