Dict: easton - Bolster

easton:

Bolster @ The Hebrew word kebir, rendered "pillow" in kjv@1Samuel:19:13 kjv@1Samuel:19:16, but in Revised Version marg. "quilt" or "network," probably means some counterpane or veil intended to protect the head of the sleeper. A different Hebrew word (meraashoth') is used for "bolster" ( kjv@1Samuel:26:7 kjv@1Samuel:26:11, 16). It is rightly rendered in Revised Version "at his head." In kjv@Genesis:28:11 kjv@Genesis:28:18 the Authorized Version renders it "for his pillows," and the Revised Version "under his head." In kjv@Ezekiel:13:18-20 another Hebrew word (kesathoth) is used, properly denoting "cushions" or "pillows," as so rendered both in the Authorized and the Revised Version.
