Senses in use

  1. Vessel holding provisions or water · dominant

    The singular noun identifies vessels associated with flour and oil in 1 Kings 17:14, where the APB renders the clause "The jar of flour will not be finished, and the jar of oil will not lack." In 1 Kings 19:6 and 1 Samuel 26:11, the same noun is attached to water; the APB renders "a jar of water" beside a person's head.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the vessel as "jar," whether it is associated with flour, oil, or water. Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, this recurring English wording confirms the verse context without establishing a finer distinction.
