Usage: The term יָע is used in the context of temple service, specifically referring to a shovel used for handling ashes from the altar. Context: יָע (yâ‛) appears in the context of the tabernacle and temple service, where it is used to describe a specific implement employed by the priests. This tool was essential for the maintenance of the altar, particularly for the removal of ashes resulting from burnt offerings. The shovel was part of the sacred utensils, crafted according to divine specifications given to Moses. In Exodus 27:3, the Berean Standard Bible states: "Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots to remove the ashes, and its shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans." This verse highlights the importance of the shovel in the daily rituals and upkeep of the altar, ensuring that the sacred space remained clean and ready for continual offerings. The יָע was made of bronze, a material chosen for its durability and resistance to heat, reflecting the practical needs of the temple service.
