buk´et ( דּלי , delı̄ ): The word is found only in Isaiah 40:15; Numbers 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 (nō'dh ).
