Scrip: A small bag or wallet usually fastened to the girdle
(1 Samuel 17:40) "a
shepherd's bag." In the New Testament it is the rendering of Gr.
pera, which was a bag carried by travellers and shepherds, generally
made of skin
(Matthew 10:10; Mark 6:8; Luke 9:3; 10:4) The name "scrip" is meant
to denote that the bag was intended to hold scraps, fragments, as if
scraped off from larger articles, trifles.
