Strong's Lexicon kad: Jar, Pitcher Original Word: כַּד Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to deepen Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2765 (κάνιστρον, kanistron): A basket or container, though not a direct equivalent, shares the concept of a vessel for carrying. - G5201 (ὑδρία, hudria): A water jar, used in the New Testament, notably in the account of the wedding at Cana (John 2:6). Usage: The Hebrew word "kad" refers to a jar or pitcher, typically used for drawing and carrying water. It is a common household item in ancient Israel, often made of clay or pottery. The term is used in various contexts, primarily related to domestic activities such as fetching water from a well. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, water was a precious resource, and the task of drawing water was often assigned to women. The "kad" was an essential tool for daily life, used to transport water from wells or springs to homes. The design of these jars allowed for easy carrying on the head or shoulders, reflecting the practical needs of the time. The use of "kad" in biblical narratives often highlights themes of hospitality, service, and divine encounters.
