Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to hold together Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4221 (ποτήριον, poterion): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote a cup, often in the context of the Last Supper or as a metaphor for suffering or destiny, similar to the Hebrew כּוֹס. • G5357 (φιάλη, phiale): While not a direct equivalent, this term refers to a broad, shallow bowl or cup, often used in the context of offerings or divine wrath in the Book of Revelation. The term כּוֹס (kos) thus encapsulates a range of meanings from the literal to the metaphorical, reflecting its rich usage in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: • The term כּוֹס is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, primarily to denote a cup or a vessel used for drinking. It can also metaphorically refer to one's lot or portion in life, often in the context of divine judgment or blessing. Additionally, it is used to describe certain unclean birds, possibly referring to an owl. Context: • The Hebrew word כּוֹס (kos) appears in several passages throughout the Old Testament, each reflecting its diverse meanings. As a literal cup, it is often associated with drinking, as seen in Psalm 23:5, "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows." Here, the cup symbolizes abundance and blessing. • Metaphorically, כּוֹס is used to describe one's lot or fate, particularly in the context of divine judgment. For example, in Psalm 11:6, "On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion," the term implies a divinely appointed destiny or experience. • The term is also used in Leviticus 11:17 and Deuteronomy 14:16 to refer to certain unclean birds, which some scholars suggest could be an owl or a similar nocturnal bird. This usage highlights the term's application in the context of dietary laws and the classification of clean and unclean animals.
