From Easton: The sockets of the lamps of the golden candlestick of the tabernacle are called bowls (Exodus 25:31, Exodus 25:33, Exodus 25:34; Exodus 37:17, Exodus 37:19, Exodus 37:20); the same word so rendered being elsewhere rendered "cup" (Genesis 44:2, Genesis 44:12, Genesis 44:16), and wine "pot" (Jeremiah 35:5). The reservoir for oil, from which pipes led to each lamp in Zechariah's vision of the candlestick, is called also by this name (Zechariah 4:2, Zechariah 4:3); so also are the vessels used for libations (Exodus 25:29; Exodus 37:16).
