sha.ret denotes service-related articles or vessels used in holy ministry.

Senses in use

  1. Articles used in holy service · dominant

    Both occurrences are masculine singular absolute nouns in constructions describing service-related objects. In Numbers 4:12 the APB renders “all the vessels of the ministry” used “in the holiness”; in 2 Chronicles 24:14 it renders articles made for the house of the LORD as “articles of ministry.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun through “vessels of the ministry” in Numbers 4:12 and “articles of ministry” in 2 Chronicles 24:14. These are clause-level renderings rather than definitions.
