Strong's Lexicon potizó: To give to drink, to water Original Word: ποτίζω Word Origin: From the Greek root word "ποτός" (potos), meaning "drinkable" or "drink." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of giving drink or watering is "שָׁקָה" (shaqah), Strong's Hebrew 8248, which also means to give to drink or to water. Usage: The verb "potizó" primarily means to provide drink or to water. It is used in both literal and metaphorical contexts within the New Testament. Literally, it refers to the act of giving someone or something a drink, such as watering plants or providing water to animals. Metaphorically, it can refer to spiritual nourishment or teaching. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of ancient Israel and the broader Greco-Roman world, water was a precious resource. The act of watering plants or providing drink to animals and people was essential for survival. This cultural context underscores the importance of "potizó" as a verb that conveys sustenance and life-giving action. In a spiritual sense, providing "water" or nourishment is akin to imparting wisdom, teaching, or spiritual truth.
