flagon

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

Concise Bible Dictionary:

1. ashishah, treated in the A. V. as a measure, but now generally understood to signify a “cake of raisins,” the raisins being pressed into a cake, in the same way that figs are. In 2 Samuel 6:1919And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house. (2 Samuel 6:19) and 1 Chronicles 16:33And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. (1 Chronicles 16:3), the words “of wine” have been added. In Song of Solomon 2:55Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love. (Song of Solomon 2:5) it is simply “flagons.” In Hosea 3:1 The words “of wine” are not added, but should be translated, as in the margin, “of grapes,” signifying as before “cakes of raisins.”
