Bible Dictionary · D
Dish
For eating from (2 Kgs 21:13). Judas dipped his hand with a “sop” or piece of bread in the same dish with our Lord, thereby indicating friendly intimacy (Matt 26:23). The “lordly dish” in Judg 5:25 was probably the shallow drinking cup, usually of brass. In Judg 6:38 the same Hebrew word is rendered “bowl.”
The dishes of the tabernacle were made of pure gold (Ex 25:29; Ex 37:16).
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), by Matthew George Easton.
