Strong's Lexicon deli: Bucket, pail Original Word: דְּלִי Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: dliy Pronunciation: deh-lee Phonetic Spelling: (del-ee') Definition: Bucket, pail Meaning: a pail, jar Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to dangle Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "deli" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept of a water-drawing bucket is more culturally specific to the Hebrew context. However, related concepts of drawing or fetching water can be found in Greek terms like "ἀντλέω" (antleo - G501) meaning to draw water. Usage: The Hebrew word "deli" refers to a bucket or pail, typically used for drawing water. It is a practical object, essential in daily life in ancient times for accessing water from wells or cisterns. The term is used metaphorically in some contexts to describe the act of drawing out or extracting. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and wells were central to community life. Drawing water was a daily task, often performed by women, and required tools like the "deli" to access the water stored below ground. The bucket was an essential part of the infrastructure that supported life in arid regions, and its use is frequently mentioned in the context of hospitality and daily sustenance.
