In Numbers 7:13, the singular form occurs in an offering list beside a silver dish, with the APB rendering the clause as a silver vessel filled with flour mixed with oil. Plural forms occur among altar vessels in Exodus 27:3 and Numbers 4:14, among items made for the house of God in 2 Chronicles 4:11, and among gold and silver articles taken away in Jeremiah 52:19. The same vessel imagery is used in Amos 6:6 for drinking wine and in Zechariah 9:15 for being filled like a container.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the verses, the APB commonly presents the item as “bowls,” while some lists use “basins” or “sprinkling bowls.” These variations should be read as presentations of the verse-level lists rather than separate lexical senses.
