Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G3631 (oinos): The Greek equivalent for wine, used in the New Testament, such as in John 2:3-10, where Jesus turns water into wine at the wedding in Cana.
Usage:The Hebrew word "yayin" refers to fermented grape juice, commonly known as wine. It is used in the Bible to denote both literal wine and, at times, metaphorically to represent joy, abundance, or divine blessing. However, it can also symbolize excess, moral decay, or divine judgment when consumed irresponsibly.
Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, wine was a staple beverage, integral to daily life and religious practices. It was often consumed with meals and used in various ceremonies, including offerings and feasts. The process of winemaking was well-established, involving the fermentation of grape juice in winepresses and storage in jars or skins. Wine was a symbol of prosperity and was often associated with celebrations and covenantal blessings. However, the Bible also warns against the dangers of excessive drinking, highlighting the need for moderation.
