ash.pah is a container associated with arrows, carried, filled, or described alongside weapons in Scripture.

The term consistently denotes the arrow-holding container in martial and figurative scenes: it is taken up with chariots, holds a hidden arrow, rattles with other weapons, supplies arrows for shooting, and can be filled.

Senses in use

  1. Arrow-holding container · dominant

    Across all six verses, the noun identifies the container associated with arrows or weaponry. In Isaiah 22:6 the APB renders Elam taking it up with chariots and horsemen; in Isaiah 49:2 and Lamentations 3:13 it is connected with an arrow hidden or shot, while Job 39:23 places it beside spear and javelin. Jeremiah 5:16 describes it in an image of threat, and Psalm 127:5 speaks of filling it.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “quiver” in each supplied verse. This repeated English wording confirms the verse-level image but does not by itself establish finer distinctions.
