However, Greek terms related to containers or carrying items, such as σάκκος (sakkos, Strong's Greek 4526), which means sack or bag, may serve a similar function in Greek texts. Usage: The term אַמְתַּחַת is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a bag, typically one that is used for carrying provisions or goods. It is often associated with travel or trade, indicating a container that can hold a significant amount of material due to its expansive nature. Context: The Hebrew word אַמְתַּחַת appears in the context of narratives involving travel and the transportation of goods. It is notably used in the story of Joseph and his brothers in the Book of Genesis. In Genesis 42:25, Joseph commands that his brothers' bags be filled with grain and that their money be returned in their sacks. The term is used to describe the containers that held the grain and the money, emphasizing their capacity and utility for carrying substantial loads. The narrative highlights the importance of these bags in the brothers' journey to and from Egypt, serving as a means of sustenance and a vehicle for Joseph's test of his brothers' integrity.
