Basket:

There are five different Hebrew words so rendered in the Authorized Version: (1.) A basket (Heb. sal, a twig or osier) for holding bread (Gen 40:16; Exd 29:3,23; Lev 8:2,26,31; Num 6:15,17,19). Sometimes baskets were made of twigs peeled; their manufacture was a recognized trade among the Hebrews.

(2.) That used (Heb. salsilloth') in gathering grapes (Jer 6:9).

(3.) That in which the first fruits of the harvest were presented, Heb. tene, (Deu 26:2,4). It was also used for household purposes. In form it tapered downwards like that called corbis by the Romans.

(4.) A basket (Heb. kelub) having a lid, resembling a bird-cage. It was made of leaves or rushes. The name is also applied to fruit-baskets (Amo 8:1,2).

(5.) A basket (Heb. dud) for carrying figs (Jer 24:2), also clay to the brick-yard (Psa 81:6), and bulky articles (2Ki 10:7). This word is also rendered in the Authorized Version "kettle" (1Sa 2:14), "caldron" (2Ch 35:13), "seething-pot" (Job 41:20).

In the New Testament mention is made of the basket (Gr. kophinos, small "wicker-basket") for the "fragments" in the miracle recorded Mar 6:43, and in that recorded Mat 15:37 (Gr. spuris, large "rope-basket"); also of the basket in which Paul escaped (Act 9:25, Gr. spuris; 2Cr 11:33, Gr. sargane, "basket of plaited cords").
