Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to shake.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G779 (ἀσκός, askos): This Greek term refers to a leather bag or wineskin, similar in function to the Hebrew נֹאד. It is used in the New Testament, notably in the parable of the new wine and old wineskins (Matthew 9:17, Mark 2:22, Luke 5:37-38), emphasizing the need for new structures to accommodate new teachings.
• G2222 (ζωή, zoe): While not directly related to the concept of a bag or container, this Greek word means "life" and is often used metaphorically to describe the abundant and eternal life offered through faith. The connection to נֹאד can be seen in the broader biblical theme of sustenance and provision, as both terms relate to the preservation and nurturing of life.

Usage: The term נֹאד appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a container made from animal skin, often used for carrying liquids. It is mentioned in contexts that highlight its practical use in daily life and travel.

Context: The Hebrew word נֹאד (no'd) refers to a traditional container made from animal skins, commonly used in the ancient Near East. These skin-bags were essential for storing and transporting liquids, particularly water and wine, due to their durability and flexibility. The process of making a נֹאד involved cleaning and treating the skin to ensure it was watertight. The skin was then sewn together, leaving an opening at the top that could be tied or sealed.

In the Bible, נֹאד is mentioned in several passages, illustrating its importance in daily life and its symbolic significance. For example, in Psalm 56:8 (BSB), the psalmist uses the imagery of a נֹאד to express a plea for God to remember his tears: "You have taken account of my wanderings. Put my tears in Your bottle; are they not in Your book?" This metaphor highlights the personal and intimate nature of God's care and attention.

The use of נֹאד in biblical texts often underscores themes of provision, sustenance, and divine remembrance. As a practical item, it was indispensable for travelers and shepherds, ensuring they had access to essential resources during their journeys.
