In the Authorized Version this word is found as the rendering of many different words. In Jg 18:21 it means valuables, wealth, or booty. In Isa 46:1 (R.V., "the things that ye carried about") the word means a load for a beast of burden. In 1Sa 17:22; Isa 10:28 it is the rendering of a word ("stuff" in 1Sa 10:22) meaning implements, equipments, baggage. The phrase in Ac 21:15, "We took up our carriages," means properly, "We packed up our baggage," as in the Revised Version.

Morish
This does not appear to be ever used in the scriptures in the modern sense of the word, but signifies 'the thing carried,' 'baggage.' Jg 18:21; 1Sa 17:22; Isa 10:28; Ac 21:15. The meaning in Isa 46:1 is probably that the idols which were once 'carried' with joy in festal processions (cf. Am 5:26) are now 'lifted up as loads' to be carried on beasts of burden.
