The Greek word for "platter" is "πίναξ" (pinax), which refers to a large dish or serving tray. In the context of Herod's banquet, this platter symbolizes the opulence and decadence of the royal court, contrasting sharply with the gruesome act it is used for. Historically, such platters were used to serve food at lavish feasts, highlighting the perverse nature of using it to present the head of John the Baptist. This act underscores the moral corruption and the extent of Herodias's vindictiveness, as well as the tragic consequences of Herod's rash promise. and presented it to the girl who gave it to her mother Greek [The man] broughtἤνεγκεν (ēnenken) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular Strong's 5342: To carry, bear, bring; I conduct, lead; perhaps: I make publicly known.
