Usage: The term קְעָרָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a bowl or dish, often used in the context of dining or ritual practices. Context: The Hebrew word קְעָרָה (qe'arah) is used in the Old Testament to denote a bowl or dish, often associated with the preparation or serving of food. It appears in several contexts, illustrating its practical use in daily life and religious ceremonies. For instance, in Exodus 25:29, the term is used to describe the dishes made of pure gold for the tabernacle, indicating their sacred purpose and the importance of purity in worship. Similarly, in Numbers 7:13, קְעָרָה is mentioned in the context of offerings, where each tribal leader presented a silver bowl as part of their dedication offering. This highlights the role of קְעָרָה in the ritualistic and communal aspects of Israelite worship. The use of קְעָרָה in these passages underscores its significance not only as a utilitarian object but also as a vessel of religious and cultural symbolism.
