Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for "qeren hap-puwk" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew cultural reference. However, the concept of adornment and beauty can be related to Greek terms such as κόσμος (kosmos, Strong's G2889), meaning "adornment" or "order."
Usage:The term "qeren hap-puwk" refers to a container or vessel used for holding antimony, a black cosmetic powder used in ancient times for eye makeup. This term is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe beauty or adornment.
Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Near Eastern cultures, antimony was commonly used as a cosmetic to darken the eyelids, enhancing beauty and providing protection against the sun's glare. The use of eye makeup was prevalent among both men and women, and it was often associated with wealth and status. The "horn" in "qeren hap-puwk" likely refers to the shape of the container, which was often made from animal horn or a similar material.
