דברי הימים א, פרק ט״ז, פסוק ג׳

The grand celebration of bringing the Ark to its resting place was marked by a generous distribution of gifts to the gathered crowd [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This distribution was remarkably equal and comprehensive, ensuring that every single person present received a personal portion [מצודת דוד, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Each individual was given three specific items: a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a provision of wine.

The exact nature of the meat portion is understood in two distinct ways. A straightforward approach suggests it was a fine, respectable cut of meat, chosen specifically for its high quality [מצודת ציון, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Another tradition explains that the description hints at the exact size of the gift, indicating a massive portion equivalent to one-sixth of an entire bull [רש״י, ביאור שטיינזלץ].

The final gift also carries multiple interpretations. Most commentators agree that it refers to a specific type of vessel, such as a flask or pitcher, typically used to hold wine [רש״י, מצודת ציון, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Alternatively, it might refer directly to a food or drink produced from grapes [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Finally, some note that it represents a precise unit of liquid volume, specifically one-sixth of the standard biblical measurement known as a hin [רש״י].
