Senses in use

  1. Produce container in offering and blessing sayings · dominant

    In Deuteronomy 26:2, the singular absolute form is the container into which first fruit is placed before being taken to the place God chooses; in Deuteronomy 26:4, it is taken from the worshiper's hand and set before the altar. In Deuteronomy 28:5 and Deuteronomy 28:17, the singular construct form is named alongside a kneading trough in pronouncements of blessing and curse.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “basket” in each occurrence, describing it as holding first fruit, being handled by the priest, and being blessed or cursed. This repeated English wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than a separate nuance.
