Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G4221 (ποτήριον, potērion), which also means a cup or goblet. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe a drinking vessel, often in contexts that carry symbolic or ritual significance, such as the Last Supper (e.g., Matthew 26:27, "Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink from it, all of you.'"). The use of ποτήριον in the New Testament continues the theme of the goblet as a vessel of significance, both in everyday life and in religious observance.

Usage: The term קֻבַּעַת is used in the context of a vessel for drinking, often associated with ceremonial or significant occasions.

Context: The Hebrew word קֻבַּעַת (qubba'at) appears in the Old Testament as a term for a goblet or bowl. This vessel is often depicted as ornate and used in contexts that suggest a ceremonial or special use. The word is found in passages that describe the opulence and wealth of certain settings, indicating that the goblet was not merely a utilitarian object but also a symbol of abundance and celebration.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is translated as "goblet" in passages that highlight the richness and splendor of the scene. For example, in 1 Kings 7:26, the description of Solomon's temple includes the use of such vessels, emphasizing the grandeur and divine favor associated with the temple's construction and furnishings.

The use of קֻבַּעַת in the biblical text underscores the cultural and religious significance of shared meals and the role of such vessels in ancient Near Eastern hospitality and worship practices. The goblet, as a symbol, often represents joy, celebration, and the blessings of abundance provided by God.
