The Definition of the word Flagon

Flagon

Heb. ashishah, (2 Sam. 6:19; 1 Chr. 16:3; Cant. 2:5; Hos. 3:1), "meaning properly "a cake of pressed raisins." "Flagons of wine" "of the Authorized Version should be, as in the Revised Version," cakes of raisins in all these passages. In Isa. 22:24 it is "the rendering of the Hebrew nebel, which properly means a bottle" "or vessel of skin. (Comp. 1 Sam. 1:24; 10:3; 25:18; 2 Sam. 16:1," where the same Hebrew word is used.)
