DISH.—See Charger; House, § 9; Meals, § 5; and Tabernacle, § 5 (a).
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Guests handled food with their fingers. Each dips a "sop" or piece of bread in the dish, and takes up therewith a portion of meat or other contents of the dish. Judas' dipping in the same dish as the Lord betokened friendly intimacy. To hand a delicate morsel from the dish was a compliment (Joh_13:25-27; Mat_26:23).

The rendering in English Versions of the Bible in some connections of three Hebrew and one Greek word. The ḳe‛ārāh of Exo_25:29; Exo_37:16; Num_4:7 was apparently a kind of salver, in this case of gold, for holding the loaves of the ?presence bread.? The same word represents the silver ?platters? (Num_7:13) brought by the princes as a dedication gift. The ṣēphel of Jdg_5:25 was a large bowl, so translated in Jdg_6:38. ?Lordly dish? is literally, ?bowl of (fit for) nobles.? The callaḥath of 2Ki_21:13; Pro_19:24; Pro_26:15 (last two the King James Version ?bosom? after the Septuagint) refers probably to the wide, deep dish in which the principal part of the meal was served. Of somewhat similar form may have been the trúblion (Septuagint for ḳe‛ārāh) mentioned in connection with the Passover meal (Mat_26:23; Mar_14:20).

Fig. 149?Egyptian Dishes
Various kinds of dishes are mentioned in Scripture; but it is impossible to form any other idea of their particular forms than may be suggested by those of ancient Egypt and of the modern East, which have much resemblance to each other. The sites of such ancient towns as were built of sun-dried bricks are usually covered with broken potsherds, some of them large enough to indicate the form of the entire vessel. These are remarkably similar to those in modern use, and are for the most part made of a rather coarse earthenware, covered with a compact and strong glaze, with bright colors, mostly green, blue, or yellow. Dishes and other vessels of copper, coarsely but thickly tinned, are now much used in the East; but how far this may have been anciently the case we have not the means of knowing. The above figure represents a slave bringing dishes to table; the dishes have covers, and the manner in which they are carried on the reverted hand is the mode still used by Eastern servants.

Dish
stands in the Auth. Vers. as the translation of the following terms in the original Scriptures: סֵפֶל (se'hel, something low, a "dish" of curdled milk, Jdg_5:25; or "bowl" of water, Jdg_6:38), probably a flat and not very deep or large vessel or pan for fluids; צִלָּחִת(tsallach'ath, something to pour into, a "dish" for eating from, 2Ki_21:13; incorrectly rendered "bosom" in Pro_19:24; Pro_26:15, in describing the slothful glutton), probably a platter, as the kindred terms (צֵלָח — ה, "pan," 2Ch_35:13; צְלֹחִית, "cruse," 2Ki_2:20) signify in general; but the most usual term is קְצָרָה(kedrah', something deep), spoken of the silver "dishes" of the Tabernacle (Exo_25:29; Exo_37:16; Num_4:7; rendered a " charger" in Numbers 7), translated by the Sept. τρύβλιον, which is the term rendered "dish" in Mat_26:23; Mar_14:20. These last terms agree with the form of the Egyptian dish as found on the monuments. The dishes have covers, and the manner in which they are carried by the servants to the table on the reverted hand is the mode still used by Eastern servants. The other terms probably represent different forms of dishes such as are now in use among the Eastern nations. SEE SNUFF-DISH.

Numerous bronze dishes have lately been discovered by Layard and others in the Assyrian. mounds, some entire and others in fragments, which show a high degree of elegance and skill (Layard, Nin. and Bab. page 155 sq.). In ancient Egypt, and also in Judaea, guests at the table handled their food with the fingers, but spoons were used for soup or other liquid food, when required (Wilkinson, Anc. Egypt. 1:181, 2d ed.). The same is the case in modern Egypt. Each person breaks off a small piece of bread, dips it in the dish, and then conveys it to his mouth, together with a small portion of the meat or other contents of the dish. To pick out a delicate morsel and hand it to a friend is esteemed a compliment, and to refuse such an offering is contrary to good manners. Judas dipping his hand in the same dish with our Lord was showing especial friendliness and intimacy (Lane, Mod. Egypt. 1:193; Chardin, Voy. 4:53, 54; Niebuhr, Descr. de l'Arab. Page 46).
