Clay:
As the sediment of water remaining in pits or in streets, the word is used frequently in the Old Testament (Psalm 18:42; Isaiah 57:20; Jeremiah 38:6) and in the New Testament (John 9:6) a mixture of sand or dust with spittle. It is also found in the sense of potter's clay (Isaiah 41:25). The great seat of the pottery of the present day [A.D. 1884 ‐ BLB Ed.] in Palestine is Gaza, where are made the vessels in dark‐blue clay so frequently met with. Another use of clay was for sealing (Job 38:14). Our Lord's tomb may have been thus sealed (Matthew 27:66) as also the earthen vessel containing the evidences of Jeremiah's purchase (Jeremiah 32:14). The seal used for public documents was rolled on the moist clay, and the tablet was then placed in the fire and baked.
