Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsappachath" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term for a type of vessel. However, similar concepts of vessels or containers can be found in Greek words like "ἀγγεῖον" (angeion - G30), meaning "vessel" or "container." Usage: The term "tsappachath" refers to a small container or vessel, typically used for holding liquids such as oil or water. It is often translated as "jar" or "flask" in English. The word is used in contexts that emphasize the provision and sustenance of God, particularly in miraculous settings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, jars and flasks were common household items used for storing essential liquids. They were typically made of clay and varied in size and shape. The use of such vessels was integral to daily life, as they were used for cooking, anointing, and other domestic purposes. The mention of a "tsappachath" in biblical narratives often highlights themes of divine provision and faith.
