The use of "στάμνος" in the New Testament serves as a link between the physical manifestations of God's provision in the Old Testament and the spiritual realities revealed in the New Testament. The jar of manna is a testament to God's enduring faithfulness and His ultimate provision through Christ. Usage: The term "στάμνος" is used in the New Testament to refer to a jar, specifically in the context of the jar of manna mentioned in the Book of Hebrews. Context: The Greek word "στάμνος" appears in the New Testament in Hebrews 9:4, where it is used to describe the jar that contained manna, which was placed in the Ark of the Covenant. This jar served as a testimony to God's provision for the Israelites during their wilderness journey. The manna, which miraculously appeared each day, was a symbol of God's sustenance and care. The presence of the jar of manna in the Ark, alongside Aaron's rod that budded and the stone tablets of the covenant, underscored the faithfulness of God in His covenant relationship with Israel. In the broader biblical narrative, the jar of manna is a reminder of God's miraculous provision and a foreshadowing of the spiritual sustenance provided through Christ, who is described as the "bread of life" (John 6:35). The use of "στάμνος" in Hebrews highlights the continuity between the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus.
