DefinitionShort: a jar made of alabaster stone
Glosses: alabaster jar
Comments: An alabaster jar normally had a rather long neck which was broken off for the contents to be used. It served primarily as a container for precious substances such as perfumes.|In translating ‘alabaster jar’ many translators have simply used a term meaning ‘jar’ or ‘flask’ and have either employed a descriptive qualifier, for example, ‘made of alabaster stone’ or ‘made of valuable stone’ or ‘made of valuable stone called alabaster.’
