Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
יַלְקוּט noun [masculine] receptacle, wallet (?) (properly collector) (on form compare LagBN p.127 BaNB § 156 b Köii.1, § 76, 4) — only in 1Sam 17:40 and he put them [the stones] בִּכְלִי הָרֹעִים אֲשֶׁרלֿוֺ וּבַיַּלְקוּט in the shepherd's receptacle which he had, even (?) in the wallet (? such as every shepherd carried, hence article); but probably strike out ו before ׳ בַּיַּל ( ᵐ5 The We Klo Bu HPS), and regard בִּכְלְי ֗֗֗ לוֺ as gloss (We Bu HPS).
