Strong's Lexicon naus: Ship Original Word: ναῦς Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root ναυ- (related to ships and navigation) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ναῦς," the concept of ships is present in the Old Testament. The Hebrew word "אֳנִיָּה" (H591) refers to a ship or vessel, as seen in passages like Jonah 1:3, where Jonah boards a ship to flee from the presence of the Lord. Usage: The term "ναῦς" refers to a ship or vessel used for navigation on water. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the physical ships that were common in the Mediterranean world during the time of Jesus and the Apostles. Ships were essential for trade, travel, and military purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, ships were a primary means of transportation and commerce. The Greeks and Romans were skilled shipbuilders, and their vessels varied from small fishing boats to large cargo ships and warships. The sea was both a source of livelihood and a symbol of danger and uncertainty, often representing the challenges and unpredictability of life.
