  dips his hand with me: People usually ate food with their fingers, or they used a piece of bread somewhat like a spoon. This expression could also be an idiom meaning “to share food together.” Eating with a person signified close fellowship. To turn against such an intimate companion was considered the vilest form of treachery.—Ps 41:9; Joh 13:18.
  
  bowl: The Greek word denotes a relatively deep bowl from which a meal was eaten.
