Strong's Lexicon hudria: Water jar, water pot Original Word: ὑδρία Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὕδωρ (hydor), meaning "water." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hudria," the concept of water jars can be related to Hebrew terms for vessels or containers used for water, such as "כְּלִי" (keli), meaning "vessel" or "utensil." Usage: The term "hudria" refers to a large vessel or jar used for holding water. In the context of the New Testament, it is specifically used to describe the containers used for water storage, often for purposes of purification or daily household needs. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, water jars were essential household items. They were typically made of clay and used for storing and transporting water from wells or cisterns. Water was a precious resource in the arid regions of the Middle East, and these jars played a crucial role in daily life, including religious purification rituals. The use of water jars in Jewish purification rites is significant, as it underscores the importance of cleanliness and ritual purity in Jewish tradition.
