Definition: The word "amphora" refers to a vessel used for storing liquid, typically with lids or covers over the contents. It has numerous uses across ancient Mesopotamian and Roman cultures, including food storage vessels, bathing vessels, religious ritual vessels, and more. In the Bible, the term 'amphora' appears in several places, both figuratively and literally. For example, it's mentioned twice in Deuteronomy 2:10-13; once for a container made from animal hides, indicating that people used this type of vessel for ritual purposes (verse 16), and another time for a vessel used for washing offerings (verse 57).
