A wine-cup (Gen 40:11, Gen 40:21), various forms of which are found on Assyrian and Egyptian monuments. All Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold (1 Kg 10:21). The cups mentioned in the New Testament were made after Roman and Greek models, and were sometimes of gold (Rev 17:4).

The art of divining by means of a cup was practiced in Egypt (Gen 44:2ff), and in the East generally.

The "cup of salvation" (Ps 11613) is the cup of thanksgiving for the great salvation.

The "cup of consolation" (Jer 16:7) refers to the custom of friends sending viands and wine to console relatives in mourning (Prov 31:6).

In 1Cor 10:16, the "cup of blessing" is contrasted with the "cup of devils" (1Cor 10:21). The sacramental cup is the "cup of blessing," because of blessing pronounced over it (Mt 26:27; Lk 22:17).

The "portion of the cup" (Ps 116; Ps 165) denotes one's condition of life, prosperous or adverse.

A "cup" is also a type of sensual allurement (Jer 51:7; Prov 23:31; Rev 17:4).

We read also of the "cup of astonishment," the "cup of trembling," and the "cup of God's wrath" (Ps 758; Isa 51:17; Jer 25:15; Lam 4:21; Ezek 23:32; Rev 16:19; comp. Mt 26:39ff; Jn 18:11).

The cup is also the symbol of death (Mt 16:28; Mk 9:1; Heb 2:9).
