Dict: easton - Pan



easton:



Pan @ a vessel of metal or earthenware used in culinary operations; a cooking-pan or frying-pan frequently referred to in the Old Testament kjv@Leviticus:2:5 kjv@Leviticus:6:21; kjv@Numbers:11:8; kjv@1Samuel:2:14, etc.). The "ash-pans" mentioned in kjv@Exodus:27:3 were made of copper, and were used in connection with the altar of burnt-offering. The "iron pan" mentioned in kjv@Ezekiel:4:3 (marg., "flat plate " or "slice") was probably a mere plate of iron used for baking. The "fire-pans" of kjv@Exodus:27:3 were fire-shovels used for taking up coals. The same Hebrew word is rendered "snuff-dishes" (25:38; 37:23) and "censers" kjv@Leviticus:10:1 kjv@Leviticus:16:12; kjv@Numbers:4:14, etc.). These were probably simply metal vessels employed for carrying burning embers from the brazen altar to the altar of incense. The "frying-pan" mentioned in kjv@Leviticus:2:7 kjv@Leviticus:7:9 was a pot for boiling.



Pannag @ kjv@Ezekiel:27:17; marg. R.V., "perhaps a kind of confection") the Jews explain as the name of a kind of sweet pastry. Others take it as the name of some place, identifying it with Pingi, on the road between Damascus and Baalbec. "Pannaga" is the Sanscrit name of an aromatic plant (comp. kjv@Genesis:43:11).
