Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the root word בָּקַק (baqaq), which means "to pour out" or "to be empty."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G4713 (στάμνος, stamnos), which also refers to a jar or vessel, particularly one used for storing liquids. This Greek term appears in the New Testament, notably in Hebrews 9:4, where it describes the golden jar that held the manna in the Ark of the Covenant: "Inside the ark were the golden jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant." (BSB). The use of such vessels in both the Hebrew and Greek contexts underscores their importance in ancient cultures for both practical and symbolic purposes. Usage: The term בַּקְבֻּק is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a container or vessel, often for liquids such as wine or water. It is associated with the act of pouring or emptying, reflecting its function as a container that can be emptied. Context: The Hebrew word בַּקְבֻּק appears in the context of ancient Israelite daily life, where pottery vessels were common household items. These bottles were crafted from clay and used for storing and transporting liquids. The design of these vessels often included a narrow neck, which facilitated pouring. The term is used metaphorically in some biblical passages to describe the act of pouring out or emptying, symbolizing desolation or judgment. For example, in Jeremiah 19:1, the prophet is instructed to take a potter's earthenware bottle as a symbol of the impending judgment on Jerusalem: "This is what the LORD says: 'Go and buy a potter’s earthenware jar. Take some of the elders of the people and some of the priests.'" (BSB). The imagery of the bottle being shattered is used to convey the severity of the coming destruction.
