Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the primary word ὕδωρ (hudōr), which is a noun.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek ὕδωρ corresponds to several Hebrew words for water, including מַיִם (mayim) [Strong's Hebrew 4325], which is the most common term for water in the Old Testament, used in contexts ranging from creation (Genesis 1:2) to ritual purification (Leviticus 11:36).

Usage: The term ὕδωρ appears frequently in the New Testament, used both literally and metaphorically. It is found in contexts ranging from physical water, such as in wells and rivers, to spiritual water, symbolizing the cleansing and life-giving power of God.

Context: The Greek word ὕδωρ (hudōr) is a significant term in the New Testament, appearing in various contexts that highlight its physical and spiritual importance. In the literal sense, ὕδωρ is used to describe natural water sources, such as in John 4:7, where Jesus asks the Samaritan woman for a drink from Jacob's well: "When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, 'Give Me a drink.'"

Metaphorically, ὕδωρ is employed to convey deeper spiritual truths. In John 4:14, Jesus speaks of "living water": "But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life." Here, water symbolizes the eternal satisfaction and life found in Christ.

Additionally, ὕδωρ is associated with the Holy Spirit, as seen in John 7:38-39: "Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." By this, He meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive.

Water is also a symbol of purification and baptism, as in Ephesians 5:26, where Paul speaks of Christ sanctifying the church "by the washing with water through the word."

The use of ὕδωρ in the New Testament underscores its dual role as a physical necessity and a profound spiritual metaphor, illustrating the life-giving and cleansing power of God.
