Bag: 1. A pocket of a cone-like shape in which Naaman bound two pieces
of silver for Gehazi
(2 Kings 5:23) The same Hebrew word occurs
elsewhere only in
(Isaiah 3:22) where it is rendered
"crisping-pins," but denotes the reticules (or as R.V.,
"satchels") carried by Hebrew women.
2. Another word (kees) so rendered means a bag for carrying
weights
(Deuteronomy 25:13; Proverbs 16:11; Micah 6:11) It also denotes a purse
(Proverbs 1:14) and a cup
(Proverbs 23:31)
3. Another word rendered "bag" in
(1 Samuel 17:40) is rendered
"sack" in
(Genesis 42:25) and in
(1 Samuel 9:7; 21:5) "vessel," or
wallet for carrying food.
4. The word rendered in the Authorized Version "bags," in which
the priests bound up the money contributed for the restoration
of the temple
(2 Kings 12:10) is also rendered "bundle"
