Language

pa.rur is a vessel used for boiling food, broth, or the contents taken up by a priestly fork.

The term denotes a vessel in food-related settings: food is boiled in it in Numbers 11:8, broth is set in it in Judges 6:19, and it is named among vessels into which a priestly fork is struck in 1 Samuel 2:14.

Senses in use

  1. Food-preparation and serving vessel · dominant

    All three occurrences show the singular absolute noun in culinary or food-handling clauses. In Numbers 11:8 the APB renders food being boiled “in the pot”; in Judges 6:19 it renders broth being set “in the pot”; and in 1 Samuel 2:14 it includes this vessel among those into which the priest's fork was struck.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the vessel as “the pot” in Numbers 11:8 and Judges 6:19, and includes “the pot” among several vessels in 1 Samuel 2:14. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate the term in every clause.
