Strong's Lexicon shaab: To draw (water), to scoop Original Word: שָׁאַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shaab," the concept of drawing water can be related to Greek words like "ἀντλέω" (antleo), which means to draw or fetch water, as seen in John 4:7 where Jesus asks the Samaritan woman for a drink. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaab" primarily means to draw or scoop water, often from a well or a body of water. It is used in contexts where water is being collected for drinking, washing, or other domestic purposes. The action of drawing water was a common and essential daily task in ancient times, especially in arid regions where water sources were not always readily accessible. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and wells were vital for survival. Drawing water was typically the responsibility of women and servants, and it was a communal activity that often took place at specific times of the day. Wells were also social gathering places where people exchanged news and stories. The act of drawing water is frequently mentioned in the Bible, symbolizing life, sustenance, and sometimes spiritual refreshment.
