φρέαρ

Strong’s: G5421

Associated OET lemmas: φρέαρ

Form 1

Part of speech: noun, n.

Inflections: φρέαρ; -ατος

Sense 1: well

Semantic entry: 7.57

Semantic domains: Constructions

Subdomains: Constructions for Holding Water

Definition: deep constructions, often walled with stone, at the bottom of which was a pool of water

Notes: If there was a relatively ready flow of water, a well could very appropriately be called a πηγή[a] ‘spring,’ 1.78: πηγή (and this may be the reason for πηγή in OET JHN 4:6), but if water only gradually seeped into the well from surrounding areas or was collected in the well from surface drainage, it would be more appropriately called φρέαρ[a]. However, both terms are used interchangeably in certain contexts; compare, for example, πηγή in OET JHN 4:6 and φρέαρ in OET JHN 4:11, both referring to Jacob’s well at Sychar.

Show passage in OET: JHN 4:11

Master, neither you_are_having bucket and the well is deep, therefore from_where you_are_having the which living water?
