PURSE (Heb. harit,, "money purses," a "belt").

The Hebrews in journeying were provided with a bag in which they carried their money (Gen 42:35; Prov 1:14; 7:20; Is 46:6).

Ladies wore ornamental purses (Heb. harit, <3:22>; <2 Kin. 5:23>, "bags"). The name given to them by Isaiah is supposed to refer to the long, round form of the purse. The "money belt" was also used as a purse (Mt 10:9; Mk 6:8).
