Strong's Lexicon stamnos: Jar, pot Original Word: στάμνος Word Origin: From the Greek root related to "storing" or "preserving." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent related to the concept of a jar or pot for storage is often associated with the word "צִנְצֶנֶת" (tsintseneth), which is used in Exodus 16:33: "So Moses told Aaron, 'Take a jar and put an omer of manna in it. Then place it before the LORD to be kept for the generations to come.'" Usage: The term "stamnos" refers to a jar or pot, typically used for storage. In the context of the New Testament, it is specifically used to describe a container for holding manna, the miraculous food provided by God to the Israelites during their wilderness journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, a "stamnos" was a common household item used for storing liquids or grains. In the biblical context, it takes on a more sacred significance as it is associated with the preservation of manna, symbolizing God's provision and faithfulness to His people. The use of a jar to store manna is a testament to the importance of remembering God's miracles and sustaining power.
