1. Water container in carrying and pouring contexts · dominant

   In Genesis 21:14 the construct form occurs where the APB renders Abraham giving Hagar “a skin of water” and placing it on her shoulder; in Genesis 21:15 and Genesis 21:19 the absolute forms occur as its water is gone and then as it is filled from a well. In Habakkuk 2:15 the construct form appears in the clause the APB renders “pouring out your bottle” in connection with giving a neighbor drink.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the item as “a skin of water” and “the skin” in Genesis 21:14, Genesis 21:15, and Genesis 21:19, but as “your bottle” in Habakkuk 2:15. These are presentations of the clauses rather than fixed translations of the term.
