The term appears in various contexts throughout the Bible, often symbolizing wealth, provision, or the practical aspects of daily life.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The Hebrew word often translated as "purse" is "kis" (כִּיס), which can also mean a bag or pouch. In the Old Testament, the purse is mentioned in the context of wisdom and prudence. <a href="/proverbs/1-14.htm">Proverbs 1:14</a> speaks of those who entice others to join them in ill-gotten gain, saying, "Throw in your lot with us; let us all have one purse." This verse warns against the temptation of joining with those who seek dishonest wealth, highlighting the moral and ethical considerations associated with money.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word "balantion" (βαλάντιον) is used to denote a purse. Jesus' teachings often included references to money and possessions, using the purse as a metaphor for spiritual truths. In <a href="/luke/10-4.htm">Luke 10:4</a> , Jesus instructs His disciples, "Carry no purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone along the road." This directive emphasizes reliance on God's provision and the urgency of their mission, rather than material preparation.<br><br>Another significant mention is found in <a href="/luke/22-35.htm">Luke 22:35-36</a> , where Jesus contrasts earlier instructions with a new directive: "When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" They answered, "Nothing." Then He said to them, "But now, whoever has a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and whoever has no sword should sell his cloak and buy one." This passage reflects a shift in circumstances, preparing the disciples for the challenges ahead.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Application</b><br><br>The purse in biblical literature often symbolizes the heart's focus and priorities. In <a href="/matthew/6-19.htm">Matthew 6:19-21</a> , Jesus teaches, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Here, the purse represents the accumulation of earthly versus heavenly treasures, urging believers to prioritize spiritual wealth.<br><br>The purse also serves as a practical reminder of stewardship. Believers are called to manage their resources wisely, recognizing that all provision ultimately comes from God. The biblical perspective on the purse encourages a balance between prudent financial management and a generous, trusting heart.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>In ancient Near Eastern culture, a purse was typically a small leather or cloth pouch tied to a belt or carried by hand. It was an essential item for travelers and merchants, reflecting the economic practices of the time. The use of a purse underscores the everyday realities of life in biblical times, where trade, travel, and commerce were integral to society.<br><br>Overall, the biblical references to the purse provide insight into the values and teachings regarding wealth, provision, and the believer's relationship with material possessions.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Purse</span><p>a bag for money.
