Bucket

A vessel to draw water with (Isa. 40:15); used figuratively, probably, of a numerous issue (Num. 24:7).

buk'-et (deli): The word is found only in Isa 40:15; Nu 24:7, in the latter passage in a figurative use. The bucket was doubtless a waterskin with two cross-pieces at the top to fit it for use in drawing water, like those now in use in Palestine. The ordinary word for water-skin is a different one (no'dh).
