Berean Strong's Lexicon qallachath: Boiling pot, cauldron Original Word: קַלַּחַת Word Origin: Derived from the root קָלַח (qalach), which means "to flow" or "to gush forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qallachath," similar imagery can be found in the New Testament, such as in Revelation 16:2, where bowls of wrath are poured out, symbolizing judgment. Usage: The term "qallachath" refers to a vessel used for boiling or cooking, often a large pot or cauldron. It is used in the context of preparing food or in metaphorical language to describe a situation of turmoil or intense activity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cooking was a central part of daily life, and large pots or cauldrons were essential for preparing meals for families and communities. These vessels were typically made of clay or metal and were used over open fires. The imagery of a boiling pot is also used in prophetic literature to symbolize judgment or impending disaster, reflecting the cultural understanding of boiling as a process of transformation or purification.
