Strong's Lexicon yalqut: Bag, sack, pouch Original Word: יַלְקיּט Word Origin: From the root לָקַט (laqat), meaning "to gather" or "to collect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "yalqut," similar concepts can be found in the New Testament with words like "πήρα" (pera), meaning a wallet or bag, used in contexts such as the sending out of the disciples (e.g., Luke 10:4). Usage: The term "yalqut" refers to a small bag or pouch used for carrying items. In biblical times, it was commonly used by travelers, shepherds, or those on a journey to carry provisions or personal belongings. The word emphasizes the practical aspect of carrying and gathering necessary items for sustenance or travel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, a "yalqut" would have been an essential item for daily life, especially for those who traveled frequently or worked in fields and pastures. It was typically made from leather or woven materials and was designed to be durable and portable. The use of such bags is indicative of a nomadic or agrarian lifestyle, where mobility and the ability to carry essentials were crucial.
