The Hebrew word often translated as "pitcher" is "kad," which refers to a vessel typically made of clay or earthenware. Pitchers were essential in daily life for drawing water from wells or springs, a task often performed by women, as seen in several biblical narratives.<br><br>One of the most notable references to a pitcher is found in the account of Rebekah in <a href="/bsb/genesis/24.htm">Genesis 24</a>. When Abraham's servant, seeking a wife for Isaac, arrives at a well, he prays for a sign. Rebekah comes to the well with a pitcher on her shoulder. The servant asks her for a drink, and she not only gives him water but also draws water for his camels. This act of kindness and hospitality is a pivotal moment in identifying Rebekah as the chosen wife for Isaac. <a href="/genesis/24-15.htm">Genesis 24:15-20</a> describes this scene: "Before he had finished praying, Rebekah came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. She was the daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham&#8217;s brother Nahor. Now the girl was very beautiful, a virgin who had not had relations with any man. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up again."<br><br>Another significant mention of a pitcher is in the account of Gideon in <a href="/bsb/judges/7.htm">Judges 7</a>. God instructs Gideon to reduce his army to just 300 men to defeat the Midianites, ensuring that the victory would be attributed to divine intervention rather than human strength. Gideon's men are equipped with trumpets and empty pitchers with torches inside them. At Gideon's signal, they break the pitchers, revealing the torches and creating confusion among the Midianites, leading to their defeat. <a href="/judges/7-19.htm">Judges 7:19-20</a> states: "Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the changing of the guard. They blew their trumpets and shattered the pitchers that were in their hands. The three companies blew their trumpets and shattered their pitchers. They held the torches in their left hands and the trumpets in their right hands and shouted, 'A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!'"<br><br>In the New Testament, pitchers are mentioned in the context of the Last Supper. Jesus instructs His disciples to follow a man carrying a pitcher of water to find the location where they would prepare the Passover meal. This event is recorded in <a href="/mark/14-13.htm">Mark 14:13</a> : "So He sent two of His disciples and told them, 'Go into the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him.'"<br><br>The use of pitchers in these biblical accounts highlights their role in everyday life and their symbolic presence in significant events. They serve as instruments of hospitality, divine intervention, and preparation for sacred moments.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Pitcher</span><p>This word is used in the Authorized Version to denote the earthen water-jars or pitchers with one or two handles, used chiefly by women for carrying water, as in the story of Rebekah.
