Pitcher
VIEW:26 DATA:01-04-2020
PITCHER.The earthenware jar (cf. Lam_4:2 earthen pitchers) in which in all ages the women and maidens of Palestine have drawn and carried the water from the village well (Gen_24:14 ff.). In wealthy households this task was performed by a slave or other menial (Mar_14:13, Luk_22:10). For illustrations of water-jars found in ancient cisterns, see Macalister, Bible Sidelights, etc., fig. 22, and the works cited under House, § 9.

Pitcher. This word is used in the Authorized Version to denote the earthen water-jars or pitchers with one or two handles, used chiefly by women for carrying water, as in the story of Rebekah. Gen_24:15-20, but see Mar_14:13; Luk_22:10.
This mode of carrying has been, and still is, customary the East and elsewhere. The vessels used for the purpose are generally borne on the head or the shoulder. The Bedouin women commonly use skin bottles. Such was the "bottle," carried by Hagar. Gen_21:14. The same word is used of the pitchers employed by Gideon's three hundred men. Jdg_7:16.

pich?ẽr (כּד, kadh; κεράμιον, kerámion): The word is found chiefly in the Old Testament in the story of Rebekah in Gen_24:13 ff; but Gideon's men also had their lamps in pitchers (Jdg_7:16, Jdg_7:19). Ecclesiastes speaks of the pitcher broken at the fountain (Ecc_12:6). The single use in the New Testament is in Mar_14:13 parallel Luk_22:10. The pitcher was an earthenware vessel (compare Lam_4:2, nēbhel), with one or two handles, used for carrying water, and commonly borne upon the head or shoulder (compare Gen 24).

Jdg_7:16 (c) Probably this represents the personal plans and purposes of a human soul. These must be laid aside or broken in order that the light of GOD may shine out freely to those around. Selfishness, self-seeking and greed effectually hide the light of GOD from others.
Ecc_12:6 (c) It may be that this is a symbol of the heart of an aged person which at one time beat strong and firm but now fails in its task.
Lam_4:2 (b) Israel should have been a golden viol full of the precious promises of GOD, and rich in the experiences of GOD's grace. Instead of that they are compared to clay, which has little value, is easily broken, and contains nothing of value.

Pitcher
in the A.V. represents the following words in the original:
1. כִּד, kad; Sept. ὑδρία; Vulg. hydria, lagena; akin to Sanscrit kut and κάδος; rendered barrel (1Ki_17:12; 1Ki_18:33).
2. נֵבֶלand נֶיֶל, nebel; Sept. ἀγγεῖον; Vulg. vas; A.V. bottle, only once a pitcher (Lam_4:2); where it is joined with חֶרֶשׁ, an earthen vessel (Gesen. Thesaur. p. 522).
3. In the N.T. κεράμιον, twice only (Mar_14:13; Luk_22:10). It denotes the water-jars or pitchers with one or two handles, used chiefly by women for carrying water, as in the story of Rebecca (Gen_24:15-20; but see Mar_14:13; Luk_22:10). This practice has been and is still usual both in the East and elsewhere. The vessels used for the purpose are generally carried on the head or on the shoulder. The Bedawin women commonly use skin-bottles. Such was the bottle carried by Hagar (Gen_21:14; Harmer, Obs. 4:246; Layard, Nin. and Bab. p. 578; Roberts, Sketches, pl. 164; Arvieux, Trav. p. 203; Burckhardt, Notes on Bed. 1, 351; Thomson, Lend and Book, 2, 379). The same word kad is used of the pitchers employed by Gideon's 300 men (Jdg_7:16), where the use made of them marks the material. Also the vessel (A.V. barrel) in which the meal of the Sareptan widow was contained (1 Kings 17:12), and the barrels of water used by Elijah at Mount Carmel (1Ki_18:33). It is also used figuratively of the life of man (Ecc_12:6). It is thus probable that earthen vessels were used by the Jews as they were by the Egyptians for containing both liquids and dry provisions (Birch, Anc. Pottery, 1, 43). At the Fountain of Nazareth may be seen men and women with pitchers which scarcely differ from those in use in Egypt and Nubia (Roberts, Sketches, pi. 29, 164). The water-pot of the woman of Samaria was probably one of this kind, to be distinguished from the much larger amphorae of the marriage-feast at Cana.
