Cruse:
a utensil; a flask or cup for holding water (1Sa 26:11,12,16; 1Ki 19:6) or oil (1Ki 17:12,14,16). In 1 Kings 14:3 the word there so rendered means properly a bottle, as in Jer 19:1, 10, or pitcher. In 2Ki 2:20, a platter or flat metal saucer is intended. The Hebrew word here used is translated "dish" in 2Ki 21:13; "pans," in 2Ch 35:13; and "bosom," in Pro 19:24; 26:15 (R.V., "dish").
Cruse:
kroos: A small earthen vessel or flask, usually for holding liquids: tsappachath; as water, 1Sa 26:11,12,16; 1Ki 19:6; it being porous, the liquid is kept cool; also for holding oil, as in 1Ki l7:12,14,16.
In 1Ki 14:3 ("a cruse of honey") the word baqbuq, would be better rendered "bottle," doubtless deriving its name from the gurgling sound of issuing liquids. In 2Ki 2:20 tselochith, is not a jar or flask, but a dish, or platter, for salt or other substances.
In the New Testament a small jar or vial, alabastron, "alabaster cruse" or flask, for holding ointment; not "box" as in the King James Version (Mt 26:7; Mr 14:3; Lu 7:37; compare 1Sa 10:1; 2Ki 9:1,3, where "box" in the King James Version is used for "vial" the Revised Version (British and American)).
Written by Edward Bagby Pollard
Cruse: A Pot.
And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a CRUSE of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child. (1 Kings 14:3)
Cruse:
a small vessel for holding water, such as was carried by Saul when on his night expedition after David (1 Samuel 26:11-12; 16) and by Elijah (1 Kings 19:6).
