Berean Strong's Lexicon pak: Flask, vial, bottle Original Word: פַּק Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to open Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G211: ἄγγος (angos) - a vessel or container - G5465: φιάλη (phialē) - a broad, shallow bowl or vial Usage: The Hebrew word "pak" refers to a small container, typically used for holding liquids such as oil or perfume. In biblical contexts, it often denotes a vessel used for anointing purposes, signifying consecration or dedication to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, anointing with oil was a significant ritual act, symbolizing the setting apart of individuals for a holy purpose, such as kings, priests, or prophets. The "pak" would have been a common household item, yet it held profound religious significance when used in sacred ceremonies. The use of oil in anointing also had practical purposes, such as moisturizing the skin in the arid climate of the Near East.
