Text:EBD:Scrip
Revision as of 13:16, 17 November 2008 by Kathleen.wright5 (talk | contribs) (Scrip (EBD) moved to Text:EBD:Scrip)
A small bag or wallet usually fastened to the girdle (1 Sam. 17:40); "a shepherd's bag."
In the New Testament it is the rendering of Gr. pera, which was a bag carried by travellers and shepherds, generally made of skin (Matt. 10:10; Mark 6:8; Luke 9:3; 10:4). The name "scrip" is meant to denote that the bag was intended to hold scraps, fragments, as if scraped off from larger articles, trifles.
