See Definition for \spuriv\ 4711 See Definition for \kofinov\ 2894

These words in the N.T. are used with an evident purpose to discriminate between them. The distinction, however, does not seem to have been chiefly one of size, as some have thought, but of use. \spuriv\ is usually a basket for food, a lunch-basket, a hamper, while \kofinov\ is a more general term for basket. The descriptions of the two miracles of feeding the multitude use always different words in the two cases, see e.g. Mr 8:19,20.
