It is often associated with the implements used in the tabernacle or temple for handling hot coals or other items related to the sacrificial system.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the tabernacle and later the temple were central places of worship and sacrifice. The priests used various tools, including tongs, to manage the altar and its offerings. These tools were essential for maintaining the sacred rituals and ensuring the proper handling of holy items. The use of tongs reflects the care and precision required in the worship practices of the Israelites, emphasizing the holiness and reverence due to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>bundles (of grain)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bundles (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">צְבָתִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> plural <font size="+1"><b>bundles of grain</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/ruth/2-16.htm">Ruth 2:16</a> (Vogelest<sup>Landwirthschaft 61</sup> <em>swaths</em> [grasped and] lifted for binding). <p><font class="hebrew2">צדד</font> (√of following;
