( דְּבֵלָה , Debelah' ), a round mass of any substance pressed together, specially of dried figs ( 2 Kings 20:7; Isaiah 38:21; "cake," 1 Samuel 25:18; 1 Samuel 30:12; 1 Chronicles 12:40). The Greeks adopted the Heb. term in a softened form, Παλάθη , which the Sept. uses. This was the usual shape in which figs were preserved for sale or use among the ancients, and is still found in the modern package called a "drum of figs." (See Celsii Hierobot. 2:377-379; J.E. Faber on Harmar's Obs . 1:389 sq.) (See Fig).
The term rendered "lump" in the New Test. is Φύραμα , a kneaded mass, e.g. of potter's clay prepared for molding ( Romans 9:21), or of dough (proverbially, 1 Corinthians 5:6; Galatians 5:9; tropically, Romans 11:16; 1 Corinthians 5:7). (See Pottery).
