jar, pot (for storing manna)
This noun denotes a jar or container, appearing in Exodus 16:33 where Moses commands Aaron to 'take a jar and put an omer of manna in it' for preservation before the Lord. This was to be kept for future generations as testimony. The Targum suggests a basket, but context and other versions support 'jar'—a vessel suitable for long-term storage of the preserved bread. The specific container type mattered for this memorial function.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A jar or pot used for storage, specifically mentioned in Exodus 16:33 for preserving a sample of manna. Moses instructs Aaron to 'take a jar, put an omer of manna in it, and place it before the LORD to be kept for the generations.' This container needed to preserve the bread as a permanent witness to God's wilderness provision. The jar became a memorial object, eventually placed in the ark's vicinity (Hebrews 9:4 tradition). 1×
