Quiver. A box made for the purpose of holding arrows. Gen_27:3. There is nothing in the Bible to indicate either its form or material, or in what way it was carried. See Arms.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


kwiv?ẽr (אשׁפּה, 'ashpāh, תּלי, telı̄; Φαρέτρα, pharétra (Sirach 26:12)): A case or sheath for carrying arrows, a part of the ordinary equipment of the warrior, both foot-soldier and charioteer (Job_39:23; Isa_22:6), and also of the huntsman (Gen_27:3). Figuratively of a group in passages where children (Psa_127:5) or prophets of Yahweh (Isa_49:2) are spoken of as arrows. Arrows are called benē 'ashpāh, ?sons of the quiver? (Lam_3:13). By identifying the arrows with the death they produce, the quiver is likened to an open grave (Jer_5:16).

[ARMOR, ARMS]




The Popular Cyclopedia of Biblical Literature
by John Kitto.


Psa_127:5 (b) This refers to the fact that the man who has many children, and of course, godly children, is equipped to do great and blessed things for his community and his country. Out of his home, life and atmosphere there will go forth those who will produce blessed results in His name.

Isa_49:2 (b) This is GOD's quiver. The subject is the Lord JESUS. GOD the Father is the owner. CHRIST is in the hands of GOD, His Father, that, with Him, GOD may bring judgment or blessing to those at whom He may direct this arrow. CHRIST is the arrow.

Jer_5:16 (a) This quiver is compared to a grave because the terrible invading nation mentioned in verse Jer_5:15 was to be so very destructive.

Quiver
is the rendering in the A. V. of two very different Hebrew words. The English word “quiver” is a variation of “cover” (from the French couvrir), and therefore answers to the second of the two Hebrew words. SEE ARMOR
.
1. תְּלַי, tell. This occurs only in Gen_27:3 — “take thy weapons (literally “thy things”), thy quiver and thy bow.” It is derived (by Gesenius, Thesaur. p. 1504, and Furst, Handworterb. ii, 528) from a root which has the force of hanging. The passage itself affords no clue to its meaning. It may therefore signify either a quiver or a suspended weapon-for instance, such a sword as in our own language. was formerly called a “hanger.” Between these two significations the interpreters are divided. The Sept., Vulg., and Targum Pseudo-Jon. adhere to the former; Onkelos, the Peshito and Arabic versions, to the latter.
2. אִשְׁפָּה, acshpah. The root of this word is uncertain (Gesenius, Thesaur. p. 161). From two of its occurrences, its force would seem to be that of containing or concealing (Psa_127:5; Isa_49:2). It is connected with arrows only in Lam_3:13. Its other occurrences are Job_39:23; Isa_22:6; and Jer_5:16. In each of these the Sept. translates it by “quiver” (φαρέτρα), with two exceptions, Job_39:23, and Psa_127:5, in the former of which they render it by “bow,” in the latter by ἐπιθυμία.
The quiver is a case or box for arrows, which was slung over the shoulder in such a position that a soldier could with ease draw out the arrows when he wanted them (Isa_49:2; Jer_5:16). There is nothing in the Bible to indicate either its form or material, or in what way it was carried. The quivers of the Assyrians warriors, on the other hand, wore them slung nearly horizonltal. drawing out the arrows from beneath the arm (Wilkinson, Anc. Egypt. abridgm. i. 354). The quiver was about four inches in diameter, supported by a belt passing over the shoulder and across the breast to the opposite side. When not in actual use, it was shifted behind, or hung at the side of the chariot, like that of the Assyrians. SEE CHARIOT. Among the ancient Greeks, the quiver was principally made of hide or leather, and was adorned with gold, painting, and braiding. It had a lid (πῶμα), and was suspended from the right shoulder by a belt passing over the breast and behind the back. Its most common position was on the left hip, and is so seen in the annexed figures, the right-hand one representing an Amazon, and the left-hand an Asiatic archer.
“Quiver” is also used figuratively for house, and arrows for children (Psa_127:5). SEE ARCHER.
