Pan

Pan is the rendering in the A.V. of the following words in the original. See DISH.

1. Kiyor, כַּיּוֹר or כַּיּרֹ (from כּוּר, to cook), a basin of metal used for boiling or stewing (1Sa 2:14; Sept. λέβητα τὸν μέγαν; Vulg. lebetem); also as a laver (as generally rendered) or basin for washing (Ex 30:18; Sept. λουτῆρα; Vulg. labrum; 1Ki 7:38,40,43; Sept. χυτροκαύλους; Alex. χυτρογαύλους; Vulg. luteres); and (with אֵשׁ) a brazier for carrying fire (Zec 12:6; A.V. "hearth;" Sept. δαλὸνπυρός; Vulg. caminum ignis); finally a wooden platform from which to speak (2Ch 6:13; A.V. "pulpit"), doubtless from its round form. See LAYER.

2. Machabdth, מִחֲבִת (from חָבִת obs., prob. to cook; comp. Arab. khabaza, to prepare food), a shallow vessel or griddle used for baking cakes (Le 2:5; Le 6:14 [A.V. 21]; 7:9; 1Ch 23:29 ["flat plate," marg. A.V.]; Eze 4:3); Sept. τήγανον; Vulg. sartago; apparently a shallow pan or plate, like that used by Bedawin and Syrians for baking or dressing rapidly their cakes of meal, such as were used in legal oblations. See CAKE.
