צַלַּ֫חַת

# Analysis of צַלַּ֫חַת (tsal.la.chat) The Hebrew word *tsallaḥat* denotes a **dish**—a basic household vessel for holding or serving food. The lexical data provides minimal information about this term beyond its fundamental meaning as a container, indicating it belonged to the everyday material culture of ancient Israel and was common enough to warrant inclusion in biblical vocabulary. The word appears only three times in the biblical text, which suggests it was neither a specialized religious implement nor a term central to biblical narrative or instruction. This limited occurrence means we cannot determine from the provided data whether the term referred to a specific type of dish (ceramic, metal, size, or decorative quality) or was used generically for any eating vessel. The rarity of the word indicates that biblical writers did not focus particular attention on this ordinary domestic object. Without additional contextual information from the specific biblical passages where it appears, we can conclude only that *tsallaḥat* was part of the Hebrew vocabulary for household items and material goods. Its presence in scripture reflects the mundane reality of domestic life in ancient Israel, even though the text rarely foregrounded such utilitarian objects in its religious and narrative concerns.
