Strong's Lexicon hudropoteó: To drink water Original Word: ὑδροποτέω Word Origin: From the Greek words ὕδωρ (hydor, meaning "water") and πίνω (pino, meaning "to drink"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of drinking water is שָׁתָה (shathah, Strong's Hebrew 8354), which also means "to drink." Usage: The verb ὑδροποτέω is used to describe the act of drinking water. In the context of the New Testament, it can imply a literal or metaphorical act of drinking, often associated with the idea of quenching thirst or seeking sustenance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, water was a fundamental necessity for life, much like today. However, access to clean and safe drinking water was not as readily available as it is in modern times. Water sources were often shared with animals, and contamination was common. Thus, the act of drinking water carried significant importance, symbolizing life, purity, and sustenance. In a spiritual context, water often symbolizes cleansing and the Holy Spirit.
