שמות ט״ז:ל״ג

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן קַ֚ח צִנְצֶ֣נֶת אַחַ֔ת וְתֶן־שָׁ֥מָּה מְלֹֽא־הָעֹ֖מֶר מָ֑ן וְהַנַּ֤ח אֹתוֹ֙ לִפְנֵ֣י ה' לְמִשְׁמֶ֖רֶת לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶֽם׃

Exodus 16:33

And Moses said to Aaron, “Take a jar, put one omer of manna in it, and place it before יהוה, to be kept throughout the ages.”

AV: “…Take a pot and put an omer full of manna therein…”
JPS: “…Take a jar, put one omer of manna in it…”

It can be safely said that this ‘hapax’ meant a jar, or some other closed vessel. Too bad that it and its contents were lost; we might have learned then what exactly it and manna were.
Today, the meaning ‘jar’ is freely used. Additionally, in Hebrew slang, we say, “If such and such is true, then I am a צנצנת; in English, it is, “If such and such is true, then I’ll eat my hat.”
