Dish:

for eating from (2Ki 21:13). Judas dipped his hand with a "sop" or piece of bread in the same dish with our Lord, thereby indicating friendly intimacy (Mat 26:23). The "lordly dish" in Jdg 5:25 was probably the shallow drinking cup, usually of brass. In Jdg 6:38 the same Hebrew word is rendered "bowl."

The dishes of the tabernacle were made of pure gold (Exd 25:29; 37:16).

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Dish:

The rendering in English Versions of the Bible in some connections of three Hebrew and one Greek word. The qe‘arah of Ex 25:29; 37:16; Nu 4:7 was apparently a kind of salver, in this case of gold, for holding the loaves of the "presence bread." The same word represents the silver "platters" (Nu 7:13 ff) brought by the princes as a dedication gift. The cephel of Jud 5:25 was a large bowl, so translated in Jud 6:38. "Lordly dish" is literally, "bowl of (fit for) nobles." The tsallachath of 2Ki 21:13; Pr 19:24; 26:15 (last two the King James Version "bosom" after the Septuagint) refers probably to the wide, deep dish in which the principal part of the meal was served. Of somewhat similar form may have been the trublion (Septuagint for qe‘arah) mentioned in connection with the Passover meal (Mt 26:23; Mr 14:20).
