אַשְׁמֹּת, אַשְׁמַּתּוֺת see שׁפת.
אֶשְׁפָּר an obscure word, twice found, 2 Samuel 6:19; 1 Chronicles 16:3. Vulg. renders it assatura bubulœ carnis, taking it unlearnedly enough from אֵשׁ fire, and פָּר ox. However, I have no doubt that we should understand a certain measure, or cup (of wine, or drink), for שְׁפָר with Aleph prosthetic, from the root שָׁפַר No. 3. Eth. ሰፈረ፡ to measure, whence መስፈር፡ a measure, cyathus, see Ludolphi Lex. Eth. p. 187 (kindred to סָפַר to number). Lud. de Dieu came very near the truth following the same etymology, and understanding it to be a measured part of a sacrifice.
