jars, pitchers (for libation offerings)
This term designates a specific type of vessel used in tabernacle and temple service, associated with drink offerings. The precise shape or material is uncertain, but the consistent cultic context suggests ritual significance. These jars appear in furnishing lists for the table of showbread and in Priestly inventories of sacred utensils.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Identifies cultic vessels, specifically jars or pitchers for libations. Exodus 25:29 and 37:16 list them among the table's utensils; Numbers 4:7 specifies 'jars of the drink-offering' (קְשׂוֹת הַנָּסֶךְ). 1 Chronicles 28:17 (possibly referencing the temple rather than tabernacle) includes them in David's specifications for temple vessels. The multilingual evidence shows varied renderings: Spanish 'copas/jarras,' French 'cruches,' German 'pitchers/jars'—suggesting uncertainty about the precise vessel type. All four occurrences appear in Priestly or Chronistic ritual contexts, marking this as technical liturgical vocabulary. 4×
