Plate

For a description of an equivalent implement used in the home, see Plate, platter. All of the references listed above are to gold plates in the Tabernacle.

The Hebrew word q‘arah always appears together with kaf (see Incense dish) in lists of Tabernacle implements. While the q‘arah was probably somewhat less flat than today’s familiar dinner plate, it was not as deep as the kaf, which was more like a bowl.
