a small bag or wallet usually fastened to the girdle (1Sa 17:40); "a shepherd's bag."
In the New Testament it is the rendering of Gr. pera, which was a bag carried by travellers and shepherds, generally made of skin (Mt 10:10; Mr 6:8; Lu 9:3; 10:4). The name "scrip" is meant to denote that the bag was intended to hold scraps, fragments, as if scraped off from larger articles, trifles.

("Shepherd's bag".) (yalquwt), 1Sa 17:40; 2Ki 4:42 (tsiqlon) margin. In New Testament, the leather "wallet" (fra) slung on the shoulder for carrying food for a journey; distinct from the "purse" (zone, literally, "girdle"; balantion, "small bag for money"): Mt 10:9-10; Lu 10:4; 12:33. Unlike other travelers, the twelve and the seventy, when sent forth, were wholly dependent on God, having no provision for their journey; at other times they carried provisions in a bag and purse (Lu 22:35-36; Joh 12:6; Mr 8:14-16). The English "scrip," originally "script," related to "scrap," was used for food.
