It is typically associated with the idea of storing or safeguarding possessions. In biblical times, a "kis" would have been an essential item for travelers and merchants, serving as a practical means of carrying currency or other small items.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, the use of a "kis" was common among those who traveled or engaged in trade. Money was typically carried in such pouches, which could be easily secured and concealed. The concept of a "kis" also extends metaphorically to the idea of storing up treasures or resources, reflecting a broader cultural emphasis on prudence and preparation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>bag, purse<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bag (3), purse (2).<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">כִּיס</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Proverbs 1:14</sup> <font size="+1"><b>bag, purse</b></font> (perhaps kindred with <font class="hebrew2">כּוֺס</font>, q. v.;
