However, related concepts of drawing or fetching water can be found in Greek terms like "ἀντλέω" (antleo - G501) meaning to draw water.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1802.htm">dalah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bucket<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bucket (1), buckets (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">דְּלִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bucket</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">כְּמַר מִדְּלִי</font> <em>like a drop</em> (hanging) <em>from a bucket</em> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/40-15.htm">Isaiah 40:15</a>;
