Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a water jar or vessel in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Hebrew terms, though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence. Some related Hebrew entries include:

Strong's Hebrew 3537 (כַּד, kad): A jar or pitcher, often used for drawing water.
Strong's Hebrew 5035 (נֵבֶל, nebel): A skin-bottle or jar, sometimes used for liquids.

These Hebrew terms reflect similar uses in the context of daily life and religious practices in ancient Israel, paralleling the function of the Greek ὑδρία in the New Testament.

Usage: The term ὑδρία is used in the New Testament to refer to vessels used for holding water, particularly in the context of domestic or ceremonial use.

Context: The Greek term ὑδρία appears in the New Testament in contexts that highlight its practical and ceremonial significance. In John 2:6, the term is used to describe the stone water jars present at the wedding in Cana, where Jesus performed His first miracle by turning water into wine. The passage states: "Now six stone water jars had been set there for the Jewish rites of purification. Each could hold from twenty to thirty gallons." (BSB)

These water jars were integral to Jewish purification rituals, underscoring the cultural and religious practices of the time. The transformation of water into wine in these jars not only demonstrates Jesus' miraculous power but also symbolizes the new covenant and the transformation of the old order into the new through Christ.

The use of ὑδρία in this context emphasizes the everyday life of first-century Judea, where such vessels were commonplace in households for storing and drawing water. The jars' capacity, as noted in the Gospel of John, indicates their substantial size and utility.
