In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual barrenness or emptiness. It conveys a sense of desolation and lack of life-giving sustenance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the arid climate of the ancient Near East, water was a precious and life-sustaining resource. The imagery of dryness or waterlessness would have been a powerful metaphor for the original audience, symbolizing not only physical desolation but also spiritual emptiness and the absence of God's blessing. In biblical times, water was essential for agriculture, daily living, and religious rituals, making the concept of being "anudros" particularly poignant.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/5204.htm">hudór</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>waterless<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>waterless (2), without water (2).<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 504: ἄνυδρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἄνυδρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἄνυδρον</span> (alpha privative and <span class="greek2">ὕδωρ</span>), <span class="accented">without water</span>: <span class="greek2">πηγαί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/2_peter/2-17.htm">2 Peter 2:17</a>; <span class="greek2">τόποι</span>, desert places, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/12-43.htm">Matthew 12:43</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-24.htm">Luke 11:24</a> (<span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">ἄνυδρος</span> the desert, <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/43-19.htm">Isaiah 43:19</a>; <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 3, 4, etc.; in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> often <span class="greek2">γῆ</span> <span class="greek2">ἄνυδρος</span>) (desert places were believed to be the haunts of demons; see <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/13-21.htm">Isaiah 13:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/34-14.htm">Isaiah 34:14</a> (in the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span>), and Gesenius or <span class="manuref">Alex.</span> on the former passage; cf. further, Baruch 4:35; Tobit 8:3; 4 Macc. 18:8; (Enoch 10:4); <a href="/interlinear/revelation/18-2.htm">Revelation 18:2</a>; cf. <p><span class="emphasized">d.</span> Zeitschr. d. deutsch. morgenl.
