Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2765 (κάνθαρος, kantharos), which also refers to a type of drinking vessel or goblet. This Greek term is used in the Septuagint and other Greek literature to describe similar items as those denoted by גְּבִיעַ in Hebrew.

Usage: The term גְּבִיעַ is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a cup or goblet, often in contexts related to drinking vessels or ornamental designs resembling a cup, such as the calyx of a flower.

Context: The Hebrew word גְּבִיעַ (geviy'a) appears in several contexts within the Old Testament, primarily denoting a cup or goblet. It is used both literally and metaphorically. In Genesis 44:2, it refers to the silver cup placed in Benjamin's sack: "Then put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the silver for his grain." This passage highlights the cup's role in Joseph's test of his brothers.

In Exodus 25:31-34, גְּבִיעַ is used in the description of the golden lampstand (menorah) in the Tabernacle, where it describes the ornamental cups shaped like almond blossoms: "Make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand and its base and shaft are to be made of hammered gold; its cups, buds, and petals must be of one piece."

The word also appears in 1 Kings 7:26, describing the design of the bronze sea in Solomon's temple: "It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths."

The use of גְּבִיעַ in these contexts underscores its dual function as both a practical vessel and a decorative motif, reflecting the artistry and symbolism in ancient Hebrew culture.
