Strong's Lexicon ploion: Ship, boat, vessel Original Word: πλοῖον Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb πλέω (pleō), meaning "to sail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in the Old Testament is אֳנִיָּה (H591), which also means ship or vessel. Usage: The term "ploion" refers to a ship or boat, typically used for transportation across bodies of water. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of Jesus and His disciples traveling across the Sea of Galilee or in narratives involving fishing, a common occupation in the region. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Mediterranean world, ships and boats were essential for trade, travel, and fishing. The Sea of Galilee, a freshwater lake in Israel, was a hub for fishing and commerce. Boats varied in size and function, from small fishing vessels to larger ships used for trade across the Mediterranean Sea. The use of boats in the Gospels often highlights the disciples' backgrounds as fishermen and serves as a setting for several of Jesus' miracles and teachings.
