  Dish
     for eating from (2 Kings 21:13). Judas dipped his hand with a
     "sop" or piece of bread in the same dish with our Lord, thereby
     indicating friendly intimacy (Matt. 26:23). The "lordly dish" in
     Judg. 5:25 was probably the shallow drinking cup, usually of
     brass. In Judg. 6:38 the same Hebrew word is rendered "bowl."
     
       The dishes of the tabernacle were made of pure gold (Ex.
     25:29; 37:16).
