Barrel
Barrel
(, kad [, cadus], a pitcher or pail), a vessel used for the keeping of flour (1Ki 17:12; 1Ki 17:14; 1Ki 17:16; 1Ki 18:33). The same word is in other places rendered pitcher, as the same vessel appears to have been also used for carrying water (Gen 24:14; Jdg 7:16; Ecc 12:6). It was borne on the shoulders, as is the custom in the East in the present day. SEE PITCHER.

Barrel
1Ki 17:12 (c) This represents human resources. To scrape the bottom of the barrel means that we have reached the end of our assets, our resources, our wits and our wisdom. Such are just at the point of bankruptcy. Those who walk with the Lord will always find that the Lord has blessings left for the believing and trusting soul.
