an earthenware clay-vessel

Rootκεράμιον (keramion)
Core Meaningsearthenware vessel, clay jar, pottery container
Semantic Rangeclay jar, earthen pitcher, pottery container for water, wine, or other goods
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical contexts, such earthenware vessels signify ordinary domestic life and human frailty; clay containers often symbolize what is common, breakable, and formed from the earth, reinforcing themes of humility and material origin.
Morphological NotesNoun, accusative case, neuter gender, singular number (Gr,N,,,,,ANS). Functions as a direct object in its clause.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the material-root connection to κέραμος (clay, pottery), highlighting the object as made of fired earth rather than generically calling it a 'pitcher.' The accusative neuter singular form is reflected as a singular direct object ('an ... vessel').
