In the context of the Bible, it often denotes a vessel used for anointing purposes or for carrying precious substances.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, flasks or jars were common household items, used for storing and preserving liquids. They were made from various materials, including clay, glass, and alabaster. The use of such containers was integral to daily life, religious rituals, and ceremonial practices. Anointing with oil, often stored in a tselochith, was a significant act in Hebrew culture, symbolizing consecration, blessing, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6745.htm">tselachah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a jar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>jar (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">צְלֹחִית</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>jar</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">חֲדָשָׁה</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">צ</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/2-20.htm">2 Kings 2:20</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">צָלִי</font> see <font class="hebrew2">צלה</font>. above<br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>cruse <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6743.htm">tsalach</a>; something prolonged or tall, i.e. A vial or salt-cellar -- cruse. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6743.htm">tsalach</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>צְלֹחִ֣ית צלחית ṣə·lō·ḥîṯ ṣəlōḥîṯ tzeloChit<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/2_kings/2-20.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">2 Kings 2:20</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/2_kings/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">קְחוּ־ לִי֙ <b> צְלֹחִ֣ית </b> חֲדָשָׁ֔ה וְשִׂ֥ימוּ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/2_kings/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Bring me a new <span class="itali">jar,</span> and put salt<br><a href="/kjvs/2_kings/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Bring me a new <span class="itali">cruse,</span> and put salt<br><a href="/interlinear/2_kings/2-20.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> said Bring <span class="itali">jar</span> A new and put<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6746.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6746.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6746<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/tzelochit_6746.htm">ṣə·lō·ḥîṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6745.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6745"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6745" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6747.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6747"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6747" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
