ק-ד-רThe same ancient cooking pot in both: Hebrew קדרה (qedera) and Arabic qidr sit on the identical root ק-ד-ר / ق-د-ر — though קדרה itself only shows up starting in Mishnaic Hebrew, not the Bible. The pot the Bible actually knows is סיר, the very word behind 2 Kings 4:38's 'death in the pot,' and it's the word Modern Hebrew still reaches for every day, leaving קדרה as the rarer cognate.
