Usage: The term קֶסֶת is used in the context of writing, specifically referring to a container or holder for ink, often translated as "inkstand" or "inkpot." Context: The Hebrew word קֶסֶת (keset) appears in the context of ancient writing practices, where it denotes a vessel used to hold ink. This term is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 9:2-3, the prophet describes a vision where six men come from the direction of the upper gate, each with a weapon, and among them is a man clothed in linen with a writing kit at his side. The writing kit, or inkstand, is referred to by the Hebrew word קֶסֶת. This passage highlights the role of the inkstand in recording and executing divine instructions, symbolizing the importance of writing in the communication of God's will. The use of קֶסֶת underscores the practical aspects of prophecy and administration in ancient Israel, where written records were essential for governance and religious observance.
