ket?'l: In English Versions of the Bible only in 1Sa_2:14 for dūdh, ?a vessel for cooking.? The same word in 2Ch_35:13 is rendered ?caldrons,? and in Job_41:20 (Hebrew 12), ?pot.? Psa_81:6 (Hebrew 7) (the King James Version ?pots?) belongs rather to another signification of the word (the Revised Version (British and American) ?basket,? for carrying clay or bricks).

Kettle
(דּוּד, dud, so called from boiling),'a large pot for cooking purposes (1Sa_2:14; elsewhere rendered "pot," Psa_81:6; Job_41:20; "caldron," 2Ch_35:13). The same term in the original also signifies " basket" (2Ki_10:7; Jer_24:2; probably Psa_86:6). From the passage in 1Sa_2:13-14, it is evident that the kettle was employed for the purpose of preparing the peace-offerings, as it is said (1Sa_2:14), "All that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took for himself." In the various processes of cookery represented on the monuments of Egypt, we frequently see large bronze pots placed over a fire in a similar manner. SEE FLESH-POT.
