In the New Testament, it is specifically used to describe the baskets used to gather the leftover fragments after Jesus' miraculous feedings of the multitudes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, baskets were common household items used for various purposes, including storage and transport of goods. The "kophinos" was likely a large, sturdy basket, possibly made of woven reeds or similar materials. It was practical for carrying food and other supplies, making it a fitting choice for the disciples to use when collecting the remnants of the miraculous feedings.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2894</b> <i>kóphinos</i> – a wicker-basket; "<i>a basket, </i>probably of wicker-work, such as was carried by Jews for food" (<i>Abbott-Smith</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a basket<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>baskets (6).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2894: κόφινος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κόφινος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κοφινου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">a basket, wicker basket</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">B.
