B. D. under the word Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The origin of κοφίνος is uncertain, but it is a Greek term used in the context of baskets.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for κοφίνος in the Old Testament, as the term is specific to the Greek language and cultural context of the New Testament period. However, baskets in general are mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, such as in the story of Moses being placed in a basket (תֵּבָה, tebah) in Exodus 2:3, though this is a different type of basket and context. Usage: The term κοφίνος appears in the New Testament in the context of the miracles of Jesus, specifically in the accounts of the feeding of the 5,000. It is used to describe the baskets in which the leftover fragments of food were collected. Context: The term κοφίνος is notably used in the New Testament during the accounts of Jesus feeding the multitudes. In the Gospel narratives, after Jesus miraculously feeds 5,000 men, besides women and children, with five loaves and two fish, the disciples gather the leftover pieces in twelve baskets (κοφίνοι). This event is recorded in all four Gospels: Matthew 14:20, Mark 6:43, Luke 9:17, and John 6:13. The use of κοφίνος in these passages highlights the abundance of the miracle and the careful stewardship of the resources provided by Jesus.
