However, general terms for baskets in Hebrew include "תֶּבֶן" (teven) and "סַל" (sal).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Greek word "spuris" refers to a type of basket. In the New Testament, it is specifically used to describe a large basket, often made of woven materials, used for carrying provisions or other items. It is distinct from other types of baskets mentioned in the Bible, such as "kophinos," which is a smaller basket.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman world, baskets were common household items used for a variety of purposes, including the storage and transport of food and goods. The "spuris" was likely a larger, more robust basket, possibly used for carrying larger quantities or heavier items. Such baskets would have been essential for daily life, especially in agrarian societies where transporting produce was necessary.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4711</b> <i>spyrís</i> – literally, a tightly wound (plaited) basket; a "hamper, reed basket" (J.
