BAG

(1.) A pocket of a cone-like shape in which Naaman bound two pieces of silver for Gehazi (2-Kings 5:23). The same Hebrew word occurs elsewhere only in Isa. 3:22, Isa. 3: where it is rendered "crisping-pins," but denotes the reticules (or as R.V., "satchels") carried by Hebrew women.

(2.) Another word (kees) so rendered means a bag for carrying weights (Deut. 25:13; Prov. 16:11; Micah 6:11). It also denotes a purse (Prov. 1:14) and a cup (23:31).

(3.) Another word rendered "bag" in 1-Sam 17:40 is rendered "sack" in Gen. 42:25; and in 1-Sam 9:7;21:5 "vessel," or wallet for carrying food.

(4.) The word rendered in the Authorized Version "bags," in which the priests bound up the money contributed for the restoration of the temple (2-Kings 12:10), is also rendered "bundle" (Gen. 42:35; 1-Sam 25:29). It denotes bags used by travellers for carrying money during a journey (Prov. 7:20; Hag. 1:6).

(5.) The "bag" of Judas was a small box (John 12:6;13:29).
