However, the idea of scooping or gathering can be inferred from various activities and tools mentioned throughout the Bible, particularly in the context of agriculture, temple service, and daily life.<br><br><b>Agricultural Context</b><br><br>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of life, and various tools were used for harvesting and gathering crops. While the Bible does not specifically mention a "scoop," the action of gathering grain or other produce can be seen in passages describing the harvest. For example, in the Book of Ruth, Ruth is described as gleaning in the fields of Boaz, gathering leftover grain after the reapers (<a href="/ruth/2-2.htm">Ruth 2:2-3</a>). This act of gathering can be likened to scooping up the grain from the ground.<br><br><b>Temple Service</b><br><br>In the context of temple service, the priests used various utensils for offerings and sacrifices. Although the term "scoop" is not used, the function of certain tools may resemble it. For instance, in the construction of the tabernacle, specific utensils were crafted for handling offerings. <a href="/exodus/25-29.htm">Exodus 25:29</a> mentions, "And you are to make its plates and dishes, as well as its pitchers and bowls, with which to pour out drink offerings; you shall make them of pure gold." These items, while not explicitly called scoops, served the purpose of handling and distributing offerings.<br><br><b>Daily Life and Symbolism</b><br><br>The act of scooping or gathering can also be seen symbolically in the Bible. <a href="/proverbs/30-4.htm">Proverbs 30:4</a> poses rhetorical questions about the nature of God and His creation, including, "Who has gathered the wind in His hands?" This imagery of gathering or scooping the wind highlights God's omnipotence and control over creation.<br><br>In a metaphorical sense, the concept of scooping can be related to the gathering of people or nations. <a href="/isaiah/40-12.htm">Isaiah 40:12</a> speaks of God's sovereignty, stating, "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of His hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?" Here, the imagery of holding or gathering the earth's elements reflects God's power and authority.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the specific term "scoop" is not found in the Bible, the actions and tools associated with gathering, whether in agriculture, temple service, or symbolic language, reflect the broader biblical themes of provision, service, and divine sovereignty. These elements underscore the practical and spiritual aspects of life in biblical times, illustrating the interconnectedness of daily activities and faith.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
