Waterpot
Holman Bible Dictionary
A vessel made for carrying water, usually made of clay although some were made of stone (John 2:6 ). Large pots stored water (1 Kings 18:33; John 2:6 ); smaller pots a woman could carry on her shoulder (John 4:28 ). Small pitchers were used for pouring water (Luke 22:10; see Jeremiah 19:1 ). Water was also carried in animal skins. See Pottery; Skin; Vessels and Utensils .
