This masculine plural noun means pails, buckets, or vessels for holding liquids. The term appears in Job's description of someone who dies in full prosperity: 'his pails are full of milk,' meaning his vessels overflow with abundance. The image is of robust health and material blessing—someone whose dairy production is so abundant that even the storage containers are brimming. Related to the New Hebrew word for a vessel for olives, it describes agricultural containers used for milk or other products. The metaphor contrasts starkly with another person who dies in bitterness having never enjoyed prosperity, highlighting life's inequalities that perplex Job and his friends.
