Dict: easton - Flagon



easton:



Flagon @ Heb. ashishah, ( kjv@2Samuel:6:19; kjv@1Chronicles:16:3; Cant. kjv@2:5; Hosea:3:1), meaning properly "a cake of pressed raisins." "Flagons of wine" of the Authorized Version should be, as in the Revised Version, "cakes of raisins" in all these passages. In kjv@Isaiah:22:24 it is the rendering of the Hebrew nebel, which properly means a bottle or vessel of skin. (Comp. kjv@1Samuel:1:24 kjv@1Samuel:10:3 kjv@1Samuel:25:18 ; kjv@2Samuel:16:1, where the same Hebrew word is used.)
