Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root אָסַךְ (asakh), which means to anoint or to pour.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 5548: χρίω (chriō) • to anoint Usage: The word is used in the context of anointing, which is a significant ritual in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with consecration and sanctification. The oil-flask would be a vessel used to carry the anointing oil. Context: The Hebrew term אָסוֹךְ (Asokh) appears in the context of ancient Israelite practices involving anointing. Anointing with oil was a common practice in the ancient Near East, symbolizing the setting apart of individuals or objects for a sacred purpose. The oil-flask, or Asokh, would have been an essential item in religious ceremonies, used by priests and prophets to anoint kings, priests, and sacred objects. The act of anointing was seen as a means of conferring divine favor or authority. In the Hebrew Bible, the use of oil in anointing is often associated with the Holy Spirit's empowerment and the consecration of individuals for God's service. The Asokh, as a vessel, would have been crafted to hold the precious anointing oil, ensuring its purity and readiness for use in these significant religious rites.
