Flagon:
a word employed in the Authorized Version to render two distinct Hebrew terms:
(1.) Ashishah (2 Samuel 6:19; 1 Chronicles 16:3; Solomon 2:5; Hosea 3:1). It really means a cake of pressed raisins. Such cakes were considered as delicacies; they were also offered to idols.
(2.) Nebel (Isaiah 22:24) is commonly used for a bottle or vessel, originally probably a skin, but in later times a piece of pottery (Isaiah 30:14).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
