Usage

The Hebrew word "tebah" is used in the Bible to refer to a large vessel or container. It is most notably used to describe two specific objects: the ark built by Noah to preserve life during the Flood and the basket in which the infant Moses was placed to save him from Pharaoh's decree. In both instances, "tebah" signifies a means of divine preservation and deliverance.
