Strong's Lexicon tsinnuwr: Pipe, conduit, channel Original Word: צִנּוּר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be hollow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsinnuwr," the concept of conduits or channels can be related to Greek terms like "ὑδραγωγός" (hudragōgos), meaning water conduit or aqueduct. Usage: The Hebrew word "tsinnuwr" refers to a pipe or conduit, often used to describe a channel through which water flows. It is a term that conveys the idea of a hollow structure designed to transport or direct the flow of water or other substances. In a broader sense, it can symbolize a means of provision or a pathway for sustenance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and the construction of channels or conduits was essential for irrigation, drinking, and ritual purification. The use of "tsinnuwr" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of water management in a predominantly agrarian society. These conduits were often part of larger systems designed to ensure a steady supply of water, especially in arid regions.
