Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for מַרְחֶשֶׁת in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of specific cooking vessels used in Hebrew ritual practices does not have a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. However, general terms for cooking vessels in Greek include σκεῦος (skeuos) for a vessel or implement, which may encompass a variety of cooking utensils.

Usage: The term מַרְחֶשֶׁת is used in the context of cooking utensils, specifically referring to a vessel used for boiling or preparing food. It appears in the context of offerings and culinary practices in ancient Israel.

Context: • The word מַרְחֶשֶׁת appears in the Hebrew Bible in the context of the preparation of offerings. It is mentioned in Leviticus 2:7, where it describes a type of cooking vessel used for preparing grain offerings. The stewpan, or מַרְחֶשֶׁת, is associated with the preparation of offerings that are cooked rather than baked or fried. This indicates its use in boiling or simmering processes, which were part of the ritualistic practices of the Israelites.
• In Leviticus 2:7 (BSB), the verse states: "If your offering is a grain offering cooked in a pan, it must be made of fine flour with oil." The term "pan" here is translated from מַרְחֶשֶׁת, highlighting its role in the preparation of offerings.
• The use of מַרְחֶשֶׁת reflects the broader cultural and religious practices of ancient Israel, where specific cooking methods and utensils were prescribed for different types of offerings. This underscores the importance of ritual purity and adherence to divine instructions in the worship practices of the Israelites.
