Strong's Lexicon aniyyah: Ship, vessel Original Word: אֲנִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָנָה (anah), meaning "to lament" or "to mourn," though in this context, it is more likely related to the concept of a vessel or ship. 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 elsewhere. - G4142 (πλοιάριον, ploiarion): A diminutive form of "ploion," meaning a small boat. Usage: The Hebrew word "aniyyah" refers to a ship or large vessel used for transportation across bodies of water. It is used in the context of maritime activities, often highlighting trade, travel, or military endeavors. The term is typically associated with the grandeur and significance of sea voyages in ancient times. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, ships were vital for trade and communication between distant lands. 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. Ships symbolized commerce, exploration, and sometimes divine judgment or deliverance, as seen in the account of Jonah.
