2 | Strong's Number: g4711 | Greek: spuris |
Basket, Basketful:
or sphuris, signifies "something round, twisted or folded together" (connected with speira, "anything rolled into a circle;" Eng., "sphere"); hence a reed basket, plaited, a capacious kind of hamper, sometimes large enough to hold a man, Mat 15:37; 16:10; Mar 8:8, 20 (RV, "basketfuls"); Act 9:25.
3 | Strong's Number: g4553 | Greek: sargane |
Basket, Basketful:
denotes
(a) "a braided rope or band,"
(b) "a large basket made of ropes, or a wicker "basket" made of entwined twigs, 2Cr 11:33. That the "basket" in which Paul was let down from a window in Damascus is spoken of by Luke as a spuris, and by Paul himself as a sargane, is quite consistent, the two terms being used for the same article.
