1. bundle, parcel — A bound-up collection of items tied together: a bundle. Used for bundles of money (Gen 42:35, Arabic surra صُرَّة, Korean mukkeum 묶음, Hindi gathri गठरी, Spanish bolsa de), and especially in the famous metaphor of the 'bundle of the living' (tsror ha-chayyim, 1 Sam 25:29) meaning the secure keeping of God, rendered German Beutel, Arabic fi surra في صُرَّة. Also a sachet/bundle of myrrh (Song 1:13, French sachet, Hindi guchcha गुच्छा, Korean dabal 다발). The root tsrr (to bind) underlies the concrete sense of something bound or wrapped up. 4×

2. bag, pouch, purse — A container for holding valuables, especially money: bag, pouch, purse. Used for a bag with a hole in it (Hag 1:6, Arabic kis كِيسٍ, Korean jumeoni 주머니, Hindi thaili थैली, Spanish bolsa), a sealed bag of transgressions (Job 14:17), and a bag of money taken on a journey (Prov 7:20). The bag sense emphasizes the container function rather than the binding action, consistently rendered Korean jumeoni (주머니, pocket/pouch), Hindi thaili (थैली, bag), distinguishing it from the 'bundle' sense which emphasizes things tied together. 3×
