VIEW:42 DATA:01-04-2020
COFFER occurs only in 1Sa_6:8; 1Sa_6:11; 1Sa_6:15, and the Heb. term ’argâz, of which it is the tr. [Note: translate or translation.] , is also found nowhere else. It appears to have been a small chest which contained (?) the golden figures sent by the Philistines as a guilt-offering.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Coffer. (Hebrew, argaz). A movable box hanging from the side of a cart. 1Sa_6:8; 1Sa_6:11; 1Sa_6:15. The word is found nowhere else.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


kof?ẽr (ארגּז, 'argāz): A small box such as that in which the Philistines placed their golden mice and other offerings in returning the Ark (1Sa_6:8, 1Sa_6:11, 1Sa_6:15).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
PRINTER 1915.


The name given in the Authorized Version to the receptacle (1Sa_6:8; 1Sa_6:11; 1Sa_6:15) which the Philistines placed beside the ark when they sent it home, and in which they deposited the golden mice and emerods that formed their trespass-offering. It is supposed to be the same, or nearly the same thing, as the Arabian rijaza, which is a kind of wallet, into which stones are put: it is hung to one of the two sides of the haudaj [a litter borne by a camel or mule] when it inclines towards the other.

Coffer
(אִרְגָּז, argaz'; Sept. θέμα, Vulg. capsella), the receptacle (apparently a customary appendage to a cart, from the use of the article in every occurrence) which the Philistines placed beside the ark when they sent it home, and in which they deposited the golden mice and emerods that formed their trespass-offering (1Sa_6:8; 1Sa_6:11; 1Sa_6:15). The root seems to signify to be shaken about; and Gesenius and Lee agree in regarding it as the same, or nearly the same thing, as the Arabian rijaza, which Jauhari describes as “a kind of wallet, into which stones are put: it is hung to one of the two sides of the haudaj [a litter borne by a camel or mule] when it inclines towards the other.” Dr. Lee, however, thinks that the Hebrew word denotes the wallet itself; whereas Gesenius is of opinion that it means a coffer or small box, to which, from its analogous use, the same name was applied. See ARK.
