Flagon

VIEW:41 DATA:01-04-2020
FLAGON occurs five times in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , but in only one of these instances is the tr. [Note: translate or translation.] retained by RV [Note: Revised Version.] , namely, Isa_22:24, ‘vessels of flagons.’ Here it is perhaps an earthenware bottle. On the other hand, RV [Note: Revised Version.] introduces ‘flagons’ in two instances where it is not found in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , namely, Exo_25:39; Exo_37:16. This tr. [Note: translate or translation.] is probably correct, although RV [Note: Revised Version.] gives ‘cups’ for the same Heb. word in Num_4:7. In all these three passages AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has ‘covers.’ In the remaining four instances where AV [Note: Authorized Version.] gives ‘flagons’ (2Sa_6:19, 1Ch_16:3, Hos_3:1, Son_2:5), the meaning of the Heb. word is a ‘pressed cake … composed of meal, oil, and dibs’ (W. R. Smith, OTJC [Note: TJC The Old Test. in the Jewish Church.] 1 434, n. [Note: . note.] 7). Hence in 2Sa_6:19, 1Ch_16:3, RV [Note: Revised Version.] gives ‘cake of raisins’ for AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘flagon [of wine],’ in Hos_3:1 ‘cakes of raisins’ for ‘flagons of wine,’ and in Son_2:5 ‘raisins’ (RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘cakes of raisins’) for ‘flagons.’
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

'ashishah. 2Sa_6:19. Rather (from 'eesh, "fire", i.e. "dried by heat") "a cake of pressed dried grapes"; so 1Ch_16:3; Son_2:5; Hos_3:1 margin; such were offered to idols (Jer_7:18). Nobel is the Hebrew in Isa_22:24, "I will hang upon Eliakim (a type of the Messiah) all the glory of his father's house ... all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons." On Christ hang alike the small and the great "vessels unto honor in the Father's house, sanctified and meet for the Master's use" (2Ti_2:20-21); their capacities varying, but each to be filled to the brim hereafter with heavenly joy according to their several capacities (Luk_19:16-19; Mat_25:19-23).

Flagon. A word employed in the Authorized Version to render two distinct Hebrew terms:
1. Ashishah, 2Sa_6:19; 1Ch_16:3; Son_2:5; Hos_3:1. It really means a cake of pressed raisins. Such cakes were considered as delicacies; they were also offered to idols.
2. Nebel, Isa_22:24 is commonly used for a bottle or vessel, originally probably a skin, but in later times, a piece of pottery. Isa_30:14.

flag?un: The translation of אשׁישׁה, 'ăshı̄shāh, in the King James Version in 2Sa_6:19; 1Ch_16:3; Son_2:5; Hos_3:1. In all, these passages the Revised Version (British and American) reads ?cake of raisins? or ?raisins.? It was probably a pressed raisin cake. the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) read ?flagons,? in Isa_22:24 as a rendering of נבלים, nebhālı̄m, which is elsewhere (1Sa_1:24; 1Sa_10:3; 2Sa_16:1, etc.) rendered ?bottles,? the Revised Version, margin ?skins.? These were the bags or bottles made of the whole skin of a kid, goat or other animal. the Revised Version (British and American) has ?flagons? in Exo_25:29 and Exo_37:16 as translation of קשׁות, ḳeshāwōth, a golden jug or jar used in the tabernacle from which the drink offerings were poured out. The same word is translated ?cups? in Num_4:7.

The word thus rendered in the English Bibles (2Sa_6:19; 1Ch_16:3; Hos_3:1; Son_2:5) means rather a cake, especially of dried figs or raisins, pressed into a particular form [FRUITS].

Flagon
a word employed in the A. V. to render two distinct Hebrew terms.
1. Ashisha'h, אֲשִׁישָׁה(2Sa_6:19; 1Ch_16:3; Son_2:5; Hos_3:1). The real meaning of this word, according to the conclusions of Gesenius (Thes. Heb. p. 166), is a cake of pressed raisins (q.v.), such as are a common refreshment in the East, especially for travellers. SEE CAKE. He derives it from a'root signifying to compress, and this is confirmed by the renderings of the Sept. (λάγανον, ἀμορίτη, πέμματα) and of the Vulgate (simila, but in Hos. vinacia, in Cant. flores, where the Sept. has μύρα), and also by the indications of the Targum Pseudojon. and the Mishna (Nedarim, 6, § 10). In the passage in Hosea there is probably a reference to a practice of offering such cakes before the false deities. The rendering of the A. V. is perhaps to be traced to Luther, who in the first two of the above passages has ein NSssel Wein, and in the last Kanne Wein; but primarily to the interpretations of modern Jews (e.g. Gemara, Baba Bathra, and Targum on Chronicles), grounded on a false etymology (see Michaelis, quoted by Gesenius, and the observations of the latter, as above). It will be observed that in' the first two passages the words "of wine" are interpolated, and that in the last "of wine" should be "of grapes." SEE FRUIT.
2. Nebbel, נֵבֶל(Isa_22:24), which is commonly used for a bottle (q.v.) or vessel, originally probably a skin, but in later times a piece of pottery (Isa_30:14). But it also frequently occurs (Psa_57:9, etc.) with the force of a musical instrument (A.V. generally "psaltery," but sometimes "viol"), a meaning which is adopted by the Targum, and the Arabic and Vulgate (musici), and Luther, and given in the margin of the A. V. The text, however, seems to have aimed to follow the rendering of the Sept. (confusedly ἐπικρεμάμενοι), and with this agree Gesenius (Comment. in loc.) and Furst (Hebr. Handw. s.v.), as being agreeable to the parallel אִגָּנוֹת, bowls (" cups," Vulg. crateroe). SEE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; SEE PITCHER.
