Strong's Lexicon oniyyah: Ship, vessel Original Word: אֱנִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָנָה (anah), which means "to lament" or "to mourn," possibly indicating the perilous nature of sea voyages in ancient times. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4143 (πλοῖον, ploion): A ship or boat, used in the New Testament to describe vessels on the Sea of Galilee and other waters. - G4142 (πλοιάριον, ploiarion): A small boat or ship, often used in the context of fishing or short journeys. Usage: The Hebrew word "oniyyah" refers to a ship or large vessel used for transportation across bodies of water. It is often used in the context of trade, travel, and sometimes warfare. The term highlights the significance of maritime activities in the ancient Near East, where ships were essential for commerce and cultural exchange. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, ships were vital for trade and communication. The Israelites, though not primarily a seafaring people, were familiar with maritime activities through their interactions with neighboring cultures such as the Phoenicians, who were renowned for their shipbuilding and navigation skills. The Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and other bodies of water were crucial for the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultural influences.
