Smith's Bible Dictionary [4]
Pot. The term "pot" is applicable to so many sorts of vessels that it can scarcely be restricted to any one in particular.
1. (Hebrew, Asuc ), 2 Kings 4:2, the earthen jar, deep and narrow, without handles, probably like the Roman and Egyptian amphora , inserted in a stand of wood or stone.
2. (Hebrew, Cheres ), an earthen vessel for stewing or seething. Leviticus 6:28; Ezekiel 4:9.
3. (Hebrew, Dud ), a vessel for culinary purposes, perhaps of smaller size. 1 Samuel 2:14. The "pots" set before the Rachabites, Jeremiah 35:5, were probably bulging jars or bowls. The water-pots of Cana appear to have been large amphorae , such as are in use at the present day in Syria. These were of stone or hard earthenware. The water-pot of the Samaritan woman may have been a leathern bucket, such as Bedouin women use.
King James Dictionary [5]

pot : A term used as the translation of a number of Hebrew and Greek words whose fundamental meaning seems to describe them as intended for the most part to hold liquid or semi-liquid substances, but the pots of Exodus 27:3 are intended to hold ashes. (1) סר , ṣı̄r , the most common word for "pot." It designates most frequently some household utensil, probably a pot or kettle for boiling. So 2 Kings 4:38 ff; Exodus 16:3; Jeremiah 1:13 the King James Version; Ezekiel 11:3 , Ezekiel 11:7 , Ezekiel 11:11 , "caldron"; Ezekiel 24:3 , Ezekiel 24:6 the King James Version; Micah 3:3; Zechariah 14:21 , etc. It is also used as the name of some vessel of the sanctuary. So Exodus 27:3 , where the context shows it was intended to hold ashes; 1 Kings 7:45; 2 Chronicles 4:16; 2 Kings 25:14 . In Psalm 60:8; Psalm 108:9 , it is a pot for washing. (2) פּריּר , pārūr ( Numbers 11:8; 1 Samuel 2:14 ), a vessel for boiling; in Judges 6:19 , a vessel for holding broth. (3) דּוּד , dūdh , rendered "pot" in Psalm 81:6 in the King James Version, "basket" in the Revised Version (British and American); "pot" both the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) in Job 41:20 . (4) צנצנת , cinceneth ( Exodus 16:33 ), the jar in which the manna was placed. This jar or pot is mentioned in Hebrews 9:4 under the name στάμνος , stámnos . (5) אסון , 'āṣōn ( 2 Kings 4:2 ), some kind of jar for holding oil. (6) ξέστης , xéstēs ( Mark 7:4 ), some kind of household utensil. Mention may also be made of the word rendered "pot" in Leviticus 6:28 the King James Version, where the Revised Version (British and American) renders more correctly by the general term "vessel"; for the King James Version "pots" ( Psalm 68:13 ) the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes "sheepfolds." The root is uncertain. Those who render "sheepfolds" connect with the related root in Genesis 49:14; Judges 5:16 . Others render "fireplaces" or "ash heaps." See also "range for pots," in Leviticus 11:35; "pots," Jeremiah 35:5 the King James Version, correctly "bowls" the Revised Version (British and American); "refining pots" in Proverbs 17:3; Proverbs 27:21 . See also Food .
