2 Samuel 17:28
bedding <04904> [beds.]
These no doubt consisted of skins of beasts, mats, carpets, and such like.
basins <05592> [basons. or, cups.]
{Sappoth,} probably wooden bowls, such as the Arabs still eat out of, and knead their bread in.
pottery utensils <03627 03335> [earthen vessels.]
{Keley yotzair}, literally, "vessels of the potter." So when Dr. Perry visited the temple of Luxor in Egypt, he says, "We were entertained by the Caliph here with great civility and favour; he sent us, in return of our presents, several sheep, a good quantity of eggs, {bardacks,}" etc. The {bardacks,} he informs us, were earthen vessels, used "to cool and refresh their water in, by means of which it drinks very cool and pleasant in the hottest seasons of the year." See Harmer, ch. vi.
wheat <02406> [wheat.]
Mr. Jones says, "Travellers use {zumeet, tumeet,} and {limereece.} {Zumeet} is flour mixed with honey, butter, and spice; {tumeet} is flour done up with organ oil: and {limereece} is flour mixed with water, for drink. This quenches thirst much better than water alone, satisfies a hungry appetite; cools and refreshes tired and weary spirits," etc.
