Smith's Bible Dictionary

Pot

The term "pot" is applicable to so many sorts of vessels that it can scarcely be restricted to any one in particular.

Asuc (2 Kings 4:2) the earthen jar, deep and narrow, without handles, probably like the Roman and Egyptian amphora, inserted in a stand of wood or stone.
Cheres , an earthen vessel for stewing or seething. (Leviticus 6:28; Ezekiel 4:9)
Dud , a vessel for culinary purposes, perhaps of smaller size. (1 Samuel 2:14) The "pots" set before the Rachabites, (Jeremiah 35:5) were probably bulging jars or bowls. The water-pots of Cana appear to have been large amphorae, such as are in use at the present day in Syria. These were of stone or hard earthenware. The water-pot of the Samaritan woman may have been a leathern bucket, such as Bedouin women use.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

1. (n.) A metallic or earthen vessel, appropriated to any of a great variety of uses, as for boiling meat or vegetables, for holding liquids, for plants, etc.; as, a quart pot; a flower pot; a bean pot.

3. (n.) The quantity contained in a pot; a potful; as, a pot of ale.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

POT

pot: A term used as the translation of a number of Hebrew and Greek words whose fundamental meaning seems to describe them as intended for the most part to hold liquid or semi-liquid substances, but the pots of Exodus 27:3 are intended to hold ashes.

(1) cir, the most common word for "pot." It designates most frequently some household utensil, probably a pot or kettle for boiling. So 2 Kings 4:38;; Exodus 16:3 Jeremiah 1:13 the King James Version; Ezekiel 11:3, 7, 11, "caldron"; 24:3, 6 the King James Version; Micah 3:3 Zechariah 14:21, etc. It is also used as the name of some vessel of the sanctuary. So Exodus 27:3, where the context shows it was intended to hold ashes; 1 Kings 7:45 2 Chronicles 4:16; 2 Kings 25:14. In Psalm 60:8; Psalm 108:9, it is a pot for washing.

(2) parur (Numbers 11:8 1 Samuel 2:14), a vessel for boiling; in Judges 6:19, a vessel for holding broth.

(3) dudh, rendered "pot" in Psalm 81:6 in the King James Version, "basket" in the Revised Version (British and American); "pot" both the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) in Job 41:20.

(4) tsintseneth (Exodus 16:33), the jar in which the manna was placed. This jar or pot is mentioned in Hebrews 9:4 under the name stamnos.

(5) 'acon (2 Kings 4:2), some kind of jar for holding oil.

(6) xestes (Mark 7:4), some kind of household utensil.

Mention may also be made of the word rendered "pot" in Leviticus 6:28 the King James Version, where the Revised Version (British and American) renders more correctly by the general term "vessel"; for the King James Version "pots" (Psalm 68:13) the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes "sheepfolds." The root is uncertain. Those who render "sheepfolds" connect with the related root in Genesis 49:14 Judges 5:16. Others render "fireplaces" or "ash heaps." See also "range for pots," in Leviticus 11:35; "pots," Jeremiah 35:5 the King James Version, correctly "bowls" the Revised Version (British and American); "refining pots" in Proverbs 17:3; Proverbs 27:21.
