INKHORN (קֶ֫סֶת, H7879, קֶשֶׂת). The term is found in Ezekiel 9:2, 3, 11 in the KJV (RSV Writing case). An inkhorn consisted of a case for reed pens and some sort of container for ink near the upper end of the case. It was carried in the belt. Monuments of all periods show the Egyp. palette, a long narrow board with grooves for pens and circular hollows for ink.
