Quiver
Human-made Things in the Bible
The quiver was a cylindrical leather container, closed on one end, for holding arrows. It was slightly shorter than the arrows it held. It was strapped to the back of the archer so that both hands were free to use the bow. It was large enough to hold 20-30 arrows.
