- A pocket of a cone-like shape in which Naaman bound two pieces of silver for Gehazi (2 Ki. 5:23). The same Hebrew word occurs elsewhere only in Isa. 3:22, where it is rendered "crisping-pins," but denotes the reticules (or as R.V., "satchels") carried by Hebrew women.
- Another word (kees) so rendered means a bag for carrying weights (Dt. 25:13; Pr. 16:11; Mic. 6:11). It also denotes a purse (Pr. 1:14) and a cup (23:31).
- Another word rendered "bag" in 1 Sam. 17:40 is rendered "sack" in Gen. 42:25; and in 1 Sam. 9:7, 21:5 "vessel," or wallet for carrying food.
- The word rendered in the Authorized Version "bags," in which the priests bound up the money contributed for the restoration of the temple (2 Ki. 12:10), is also rendered "bundle" (Gen. 42:35; 1 Sam. 25:29). It denotes bags used by travellers for carrying money during a journey (Pr. 7:20; Hag. 1:6).
- The "bag" of Judas was a small box (Jn. 12:6, 13:29).
