chêmeth
and a skin of
A container or vessel made from animal skin, typically used for storing and transporting liquids such as water, wine, or oil. The term encompasses the specific sense of a 'skin-bottle'—a flexible, tied-up sack fashioned from the hide of an animal, often a goat, and sewn or bound to contain and preserve its contents. In some contexts, it refers more generally to any bottle or vessel made from skin, distinct from fired clay or metal vessels.
