Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to deepen.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry related to the concept of a jar or pitcher is Strong's Greek Number G5201 • ὑδρία (hudria), which also refers to a water jar or pitcher. This term is used in the New Testament, such as in John 2:6, where Jesus performs the miracle of turning water into wine: "Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons." The use of ὑδρία (hudria) in this context parallels the function of the Hebrew כַּד (kad) as a vessel for holding water. Usage: The term כַּד (kad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a container, typically made of earthenware, used for drawing and storing water or other liquids. It is often translated as "jar" or "pitcher" in English translations. Context: The Hebrew word כַּד (kad) appears in several Old Testament passages, illustrating its use as a common household item in ancient Israel. It is often associated with the task of drawing water, a daily chore typically performed by women. For instance, in Genesis 24:14, Rebekah is described as carrying a כַּד (kad) when she meets Abraham's servant at the well: "Now may it be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who responds, ‘Drink, and I will water your camels also,’ let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac." This passage highlights the practical use of the כַּד (kad) in daily life and its role in the narrative of Isaac's marriage.
