Strong's Lexicon kowc: Cup Original Word: כּוֹס Part of Speech: noun feminine; noun masculine Transliteration: kowc Pronunciation: kohs Phonetic Spelling: (koce) Definition: Cup Meaning: a cup, a lot, some unclean bird, an owl Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to hold together Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4221 (ποτήριον, potērion): Often used in the New Testament to denote a cup, particularly in the context of the Last Supper and the cup of suffering that Jesus refers to in the Gospels. Usage: The Hebrew word "kowc" primarily refers to a cup or a vessel used for drinking. It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to represent one's portion or lot in life, whether of blessing or judgment. The cup can symbolize abundance and blessing, as in the overflowing cup of Psalm 23:5, or it can represent suffering and divine wrath, as seen in passages like Isaiah 51:17. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the cup was a common household item used for drinking. It was also a significant symbol in religious and social contexts. Sharing a cup could signify fellowship and covenant, while the act of drinking from a cup could represent acceptance of one's fate or divine will. In biblical times, the imagery of a cup was often used in prophetic literature to convey messages of judgment or blessing from God.
