Strong's Lexicon maqor: Source, fountain, spring Original Word: מָקוֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root קוּר (kur), which means to dig or bore. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4077 (πηγή, pēgē) - often translated as "fountain" or "spring" in the New Testament, such as in John 4:14: "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." Usage: The Hebrew word "maqor" primarily refers to a source or fountain, often used metaphorically to describe the origin or wellspring of something. It can denote a physical spring of water or be used symbolically to represent the source of life, wisdom, or blessing. In the biblical context, it often emphasizes the life-giving and sustaining properties of water, which is essential in the arid climate of the ancient Near East. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and springs or fountains were vital for survival. They were often seen as gifts from God, providing sustenance and life in a dry and barren land. The imagery of a fountain or spring is frequently used in the Bible to convey abundance, purity, and divine provision. In a spiritual sense, God Himself is often depicted as the ultimate source of life and blessing, akin to a life-giving spring.
