SCRIP. An archaic word used in the KJV referring to a small bag, esp. one carried by a pilgrim, a shepherd, or a beggar. It is used for the receptacle in which David carried the stones for his sling (1 Sam 17:40 KJV). In Matthew 10:10 and parallel passages it refers to the traveling bags which Jesus forbade His disciples to carry. The RSV uses WALLET in the OT passage, and BAG in the NT passage.
