King James Bible Dictionary

The sockets of the lamps of the golden candlestick of the tabernacle are called bowls (Exodus 25:31, 33, 34; 37:17, 19, 20); the same word so rendered being elsewhere rendered "cup" (Genesis 44:2, 12, 16), and wine "pot" (Jeremiah 35:5). The reservoir for oil, from which pipes led to each lamp in Zechariah's vision of the candlestick, is called also by this name (Zechariah 4:2, 3); so also are the vessels used for libations (Exodus 25:29; 37:16).
