Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for מַשְׂרֵת in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the specific term for a boiling pan does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: The term מַשְׂרֵת is used in the context of cooking or boiling, particularly in the preparation of offerings or food.

Context: • The Hebrew word מַשְׂרֵת appears in the context of ancient Israelite culinary practices, particularly in the preparation of offerings. It is a type of pan or vessel used for boiling, which was an essential part of the sacrificial system described in the Old Testament. The use of מַשְׂרֵת is indicative of the detailed and specific instructions given for the preparation of offerings, highlighting the importance of ritual purity and adherence to divine commandments.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, מַשְׂרֵת is referenced in passages that describe the preparation of offerings, emphasizing the role of cooking implements in the sacrificial rites. The use of such a pan would have been common in the tabernacle and later in the temple, where offerings were prepared according to the laws given to Moses.
• The presence of מַשְׂרֵת in the biblical text underscores the practical aspects of worship in ancient Israel, where physical objects like pans played a role in the spiritual and communal life of the people. It reflects the integration of daily life and religious observance, as cooking and food preparation were both mundane and sacred activities.
