Usage: The term "kophinos" refers to a type of basket used in ancient times, particularly in the context of carrying provisions or collecting leftovers. In the New Testament, it is specifically used to describe the baskets used to gather the leftover fragments after Jesus' miraculous feedings of the multitudes. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, baskets were common household items used for various purposes, including storage and transport of goods. The "kophinos" was likely a large, sturdy basket, possibly made of woven reeds or similar materials. It was practical for carrying food and other supplies, making it a fitting choice for the disciples to use when collecting the remnants of the miraculous feedings.
