It is used to describe the process of watering plants or providing necessary hydration to sustain life. In a broader sense, it can symbolize nourishment and sustenance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, essential for agriculture and daily life. The arid climate made irrigation a critical practice for successful farming. The concept of "shiqquy" would have been familiar to the Israelites, who relied on rain and irrigation to grow crops and sustain livestock. Watering was not only a practical necessity but also held spiritual significance, often symbolizing God's provision and blessing.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/8248.htm">shaqah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a drink<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>drink (2), refreshment (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שִׁקּוּי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>drink</b></font> (Ba<sup>§ 102 d</sup>);
