Subjects in this Topic:
( ãּåּã , dud, so called from boiling),'a large pot for cooking purposes (1Sa_2:14; elsewhere rendered "pot," Psa_81:6; Job_41:20; "caldron," 2Ch_35:13). The same term in the original also signifies " basket" (2Ki_10:7; Jer_24:2; probably Psa_86:6). From the passage in 1Sa_2:13-14, it is evident that the kettle was employed for the purpose of preparing the peace-offerings, as it is said (1Sa_2:14), "All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took for himself." In the various processes of cookery represented on the monuments of Egypt, we frequently see large bronze pots placed over a fire in a similar manner. SEE FLESH-POT.
