Usage: The term "hudria" refers to a large vessel or jar used for holding water. In the context of the New Testament, it is specifically used to describe the containers used for water storage, often for purposes of purification or daily household needs.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish culture, water jars were essential household items. They were typically made of clay and used for storing and transporting water from wells or cisterns.

The use of water jars in Jewish purification rites is significant, as it underscores the importance of cleanliness and ritual purity in Jewish tradition.
