Bag @ (1.) A pocket of a cone-like shape in which Naaman bound two pieces of silver for Gehazi ( 2Kings:5:23).

Another word (kees) so rendered means a bag for carrying weights Deuteronomy:25:13; Proverbs:16:11; Micah:6:11). It also denotes a purse Proverbs:1:14) and a cup (23:31). (3.) Another word rendered "bag" in 1Samuel:17:40 is rendered "sack" in Genesis:42:25; and in 1Samuel:9:71Samuel:21:5 "vessel," or wallet for carrying food. (4.) The word rendered in the Authorized Version "bags," in which the priests bound up the money contributed for the restoration of the temple ( 2Kings:12:10), is also rendered "bundle" Genesis:42:35; 1Samuel:25:29). It denotes bags used by travellers for carrying money during a journey Proverbs:7:20; Haggai:1:6). (5.) The "bag" of Judas was a small box John:12:6John:13:29).
