Goblet

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

gob'-let ('aggan): A bowl or basin (So 7:2), the only place where the word is used. `Aggan is used in the plural inEx 24:6andIsa 22:24, and is translated "basins" and "cups." These "basins" were used to hold the blood of the sacrifices and must have been of moderate size. The "cups" were bowl-shaped vessels and belonged evidently to the smaller class of vessels used in a house.
