Usage: The Hebrew word "agan" refers to a bowl or basin, typically used for holding liquids. In the biblical context, it often denotes a vessel used in domestic or ritual settings. The term conveys the idea of a container that is both functional and, at times, ornamental. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, bowls and basins were essential household items, used for a variety of purposes including cooking, washing, and religious rituals.

In religious contexts, basins were used in the tabernacle and temple for ceremonial washing, symbolizing purification and readiness to approach God.
