Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew word דְּלִי. However, the concept of drawing water is present in the New Testament, often using terms related to wells and water sources, such as ἀντλέω (antléō • Strong's Greek 501) meaning "to draw water."

Usage: The term דְּלִי appears in the context of drawing water, often associated with wells or cisterns. It is used to describe a vessel or container used for this purpose.

Context: The Hebrew word דְּלִי (dĕlî) is a noun that refers to a pail or jar, specifically used for drawing water. This term is found in the Old Testament, illustrating the everyday life and practices of ancient Israelite society, where water was a precious resource often accessed through wells. The use of a דְּלִי was essential for retrieving water from these deep sources. The imagery of drawing water with a דְּלִי is also metaphorically significant in biblical literature, symbolizing sustenance and life. In Numbers 24:7, the word is used in a poetic blessing: "Water will flow from his buckets, and his seed will have abundant water." This passage highlights the prosperity and blessing associated with abundant water, a vital element for survival and flourishing in the arid regions of the Near East.
