Pot. The term "pot" is applicable to so many sorts of vessels that it can scarcely be restricted to any one in particular.
1. (Hebrew, Asuc), 2Ki_4:2, the earthen jar, deep and narrow, without handles, probably like the Roman and Egyptian amphora, inserted in a stand of wood or stone.
2. (Hebrew, Cheres), an earthen vessel for stewing or seething. Lev_6:28; Eze_4:9.
3. (Hebrew, Dud), a vessel for culinary purposes, perhaps of smaller size. 1Sa_2:14. The "pots" set before the Rachabites, Jer_35:5, were probably bulging jars or bowls. The water-pots of Cana appear to have been large amphorae, such as are in use at the present day in Syria. These were of stone or hard earthenware. The water-pot of the Samaritan woman may have been a leathern bucket, such as Bedouin women use.

pot: A term used as the translation of a number of Hebrew and Greek words whose fundamental meaning seems to describe them as intended for the most part to hold liquid or semi-liquid substances, but the pots of Exo_27:3 are intended to hold ashes. (1) סר, ṣı̄r, the most common word for ?pot.? It designates most frequently some household utensil, probably a pot or kettle for boiling. So 2Ki_4:38 ff; Exo_16:3; Jer_1:13 the King James Version; Eze_11:3, Eze_11:7, Eze_11:11, ?caldron?; Eze_24:3, Eze_24:6 the King James Version; Mic_3:3; Zec_14:21, etc. It is also used as the name of some vessel of the sanctuary. So Exo_27:3, where the context shows it was intended to hold ashes; 1Ki_7:45; 2Ch_4:16; 2Ki_25:14. In Psa_60:8; Psa_108:9, it is a pot for washing. (2) פּריּר, pārūr (Num_11:8; 1Sa_2:14), a vessel for boiling; in Jdg_6:19, a vessel for holding broth. (3) דּוּד, dūdh, rendered ?pot? in Psa_81:6 in the King James Version, ?basket? in the Revised Version (British and American); ?pot? both the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) in Job_41:20. (4) צנצנת, cinceneth (Exo_16:33), the jar in which the manna was placed. This jar or pot is mentioned in Heb_9:4 under the name στάμνος, stámnos. (5) אסון, 'āṣōn (2Ki_4:2), some kind of jar for holding oil. (6) ξέστης, xéstēs (Mar_7:4), some kind of household utensil. Mention may also be made of the word rendered ?pot? in Lev_6:28 the King James Version, where the Revised Version (British and American) renders more correctly by the general term ?vessel?; for the King James Version ?pots? (Psa_68:13) the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes ?sheepfolds.? The root is uncertain. Those who render ?sheepfolds? connect with the related root in Gen_49:14; Jdg_5:16. Others render ?fireplaces? or ?ash heaps.? See also ?range for pots,? in Lev_11:35; ?pots,? Jer_35:5 the King James Version, correctly ?bowls? the Revised Version (British and American); ?refining pots? in Pro_17:3; Pro_27:21. See also FOOD.

Job_41:20 (c) This animal, the whale, or some other great sea monster blowing the water from the head in some form, is likened to the boiling pot.

Psa_60:8 (b) The Lord used Moab for the cleansing of Israel when she needed punishment for her idolatry and sin. Moab was one of GOD's pots in which He washed some of the filth of His people. GOD uses whomsoever He pleases for His purposes.

Jer_1:13 (b) This is a type of the great outbreak and overthrow of the armed might from the northern country in the time of GOD's earthly judgments upon Jerusalem.

Eze_24:3 (b) Jerusalem is the pot in which GOD will destroy His people who have been so rebellious and wicked.

Joh_2:6 (c) These may be taken as a type of the six people in John who are outstanding in their transformed lives; Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, the lame man in chapter 5, the blind man, Lazarus, and the nobleman's son in chapter 4.

Joh_4:28 (c) This may be used as a type of earthly desires and preparations for earthly pleasures which are laid aside as of no further use when the soul trusts CHRIST and is satisfied with the water of life.

Pot
a term applicable to so many sorts of vessels that it can scarcely be restricted to any one in particular. SEE BASIN; SEE CUP, etc. But from the places where the word is used we may collect the uses, and also in part the materials of the utensils implied. This vessel, so necessary in cooking and serving up food (Num_11:8; Jdg_6:19; 1Sa_2:14; 2Ki_4:38 sq.; 2Ch_35:13; Isa_65:4; Mic_3:3; Eze_11:3; Eze_24:3 sq.), derives its ordinary names from its use in boiling. It was commonly, among the Israelites, made of clay (Heb. חֹמֶר, Gr. πήλος; comp. Isa_29:16; Isa_45:9; Jer_18:4). But there were also brazen pots (Lev_8:28), especially in the sanctuary (1Ki_7:45; 2Ki_25:14). The trade of the potters, called יֹצְרַים (comp. Gesenius, Monumenta Phoen. p. 161) or יֹצְדֵי חֶרֶשׁ(Jer_19:1), in Greek κεραμεῖς, was a separate pursuit, to whose mysteries allusions are often made (Jer_18:2 sq.; Sir_38:30; Sirach cf., 33 sq.). It was necessary first to work the clay with the feet, to make it plastic (Isa_41:25), and then to shape it with the hand (Jer_18:4; Jer_18:6; Sir_33:13; Sir_38:30) and the Oriental potter's wheel ( אָבְנִיַםJer_18:3; see Gesenius, Thesaur. 1, 16). The vessels were glazed (Sir_38:31; Pro_26:23), and then burned in the oven (κάμινος, Sirach , 1. c.). BAhr (Symbolik, 2, 293) and Sommer (Bibl. Abhandl. 1, 213) assume, indeed, that the Hebrews were ignorant of glazing, and explain the passages (Lev_6:21; Lev_11:33; Lev_15:12) which command the breaking of earthen vessels made unclean by this want of glazing. There are, indeed, no pots extant from Egyptian antiquity, but earthen figures show a glazing upon them; and it would be unreasonable to suppose that the Egyptians had failed to apply the art to their vessels. There is nothing inexplicable in the command to break the defiled vessels, inasmuch as they were of little value; and any of them might easily have lost part of its glazing, and so taken in some of the unclean substance; so that breaking was the safest method of disposing of them. Such a command would also produce more care in housekeeping to avoid uncleanness (comp. Descript. de l'Egypte, vol. 2, pl. 87 sq.; 5, pl. 75; Wilkinson , 1, 164). SEE POTTERY.
The following are the words so rendered in the English Bible:
1. אָסוּךְ, asuk (Sept. ἀγγεῖον), applied to holding oil (2Ki_4:2), probably was an earthen jar, deep and narrow, without handles, apparently like the Roman and Egyptian amphora, inserted in a stand of wood or stone (see Wilkinson, Anc. Egypt. 1, 47; Sandys, Trav, p. 150). SEE PITCHER.
2. גָּבַיעִ, gabia (Sept. κεράμιον, Vulg. scyphaus, Jer_35:5; elsewhere “bowl” or “cup”), probably a bulging jar or bowl for liquids. SEE BOWL.
3. דּוּד, dud (Sept. κόφινος, Job_41:20; Psa_81:6; elsewhere “basket,” “caldron,” “kettle”), a vessel for culinary purposes, mentioned (1Sa_2:14) in conjunction with “caldron” and “kettle,” and so perhaps of smaller size. SEE KETTLE.
4. חֶרֶשׂ, cheres (“potsherd,” Job_2:8; Psa_22:15; Pro_26:23; Isa_45:9; elsewhere “earthen,” etc.), an earthen vessel for stewing or seething. Such a vessel was used for baking (Eze_4:9). It is contrasted in the same passage (Lev_6:28) with a metal vessel for the same purpose. SEE POTSHERD.
5. כְּלַי, keli (Sept. σκεῦος, Lev_6:28), a vessel of any kind (as usually elsewhere rendered). SEE VESSEL.
6. כַּיר, kir (only once and in the dual, Lev_11:35, “ranges for pots”). SEE RANGE.
7. סַיר, sir (Sept. λέβης, Vulg. olla, the most usual and appropriate word, Exo_38:3; 2Ki_4:38-41; 2Ki_25:14; 2Ch_4:11; 2Ch_4:16; 2Ch_35:13; Job_41:31; Psa_58:9; Ecc_7:6; Jer_1:13; Eze_24:3; Eze_24:6; Mic_3:3; Zec_14:10; Zec_14:21). It is also used, combined with other words. to denote special uses, as with נָפוּחִ(Jer_1:13), “a seething-pot;” with בָּשָׂר. “flesh” (Exo_16:3);
רָחִוֹ, “washing” (Psa_60:8) מִצְרֵ, “fining-pot” (Pro_27:21). The blackness which such vessels would contract is alluded to in Joe_2:6. SEE CALDRON.
8. פָּרוּר, parir (Sept. χαλκεῖον, Vulg. cacabus, Jdg_6:19; 1Sa_2:14; “pan,” Num_11:8), apparently an open flat vessel. SEE PAN.
9. צַנְצֶנֶת, tsintse'neth (Sept. σταμνός, Vulg. vas, Exo_16:33), a covered vessel for preserving things (comp. Heb_9:4). SEE MANNA.
10. שְׁפִתִּיַם, shephatta'yim (Sept. κλῆρος, Psa_68:13; “hooks,” Eze_40:43), opposite rows, as of sheepfolds.
11. ξέστης (Mar_7:4; Mar_7:8), properly a sextarius or sixteenth part of the uiedius or “bushel,” =nearly one pint English; hence a cup generally. SEE MEASURE.
12. στάμνος (Heb_9:4), an earthen jug or jar, = No. 9 above.
13. ὑδρία (Joh_2:6-7; Joh_4:28), a “water-pot” for any liquid. The water- pots of Cana appear to have been large amphorae, such as are in use at the present day in Syria (Fisher, Views, p. 56; Jolliffe, 1, 33). These were of stone or hard earthenware; but gold, silver, brass, or copper was also used for vessels both for domestic and also, with marked preference, for ritual use (1Ki_7:45; 1Ki_10:21; 2Ch_4:16; 2Ch_9:20; Mar_7:4; Michaelis, Laws of Moses, § 217, 3, 335, ed. Smith). The water-pot of the Samaritan woman may have been a leathern bucket, such as Bedawin women use (Burckhardt, Notes, 1, 45). SEE WATER-POT.
POT, “HOLY-WATER POT” or “HOLY-WATER VASE,” and Sprinkle (=sprinkling brush), are implements used in Roman Catholic churches for sprinkling the altar and priest and people with the holy water on Sunday. Holy-water pots, such as is represented in the cut; are from five and a quarter to seven and a half inches in diameter.
