The Hebrew word "אֳנִיָּה" (H591) refers to a ship or vessel, as seen in passages like Jonah 1:3, where Jonah boards a ship to flee from the presence of the Lord.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "ναῦς" refers to a ship or vessel used for navigation on water. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the physical ships that were common in the Mediterranean world during the time of Jesus and the Apostles. Ships were essential for trade, travel, and military purposes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, ships were a primary means of transportation and commerce. The Greeks and Romans were skilled shipbuilders, and their vessels varied from small fishing boats to large cargo ships and warships. The sea was both a source of livelihood and a symbol of danger and uncertainty, often representing the challenges and unpredictability of life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a ship<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>vessel (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3491: ναῦς</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ναῦς</span></span>, accusative <span class="greek2">ναῦν</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">ναῷ</span> or <span class="greek2">νεώ</span>, to flow, float, swim), <span class="accented">a ship, vessel</span> of considerable size: <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-41.htm">Acts 27:41</a>.
