Meaning

Bowl The sockets of the lamps of the golden candlestick of the tabernacle are called bowls (Ex 25:31, 33, 34; 37:17, 19, 20); the same word so rendered being elsewhere rendered "cup" (Gen 44:2, 12, 16), and wine "pot" (Jer 35:5). The reservoir for oil, from which pipes led to each lamp in Zechariah's vision of the candlestick, is called also by this name (Zech 4:2, 3); so also are the vessels used for libations (Ex 25:29; 37:16).
