Berean Strong's Lexicon kraipalé: Carousing, drunkenness, hangover Original Word: κραιπάλη Word Origin: Of uncertain derivation Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kraipalé," the concept of drunkenness and its moral implications can be found in Hebrew words such as "שִׁכָּרוֹן" (shikkaron - Strong's H7943), which means drunkenness. Usage: The term "kraipalé" refers to the state of drunkenness or the aftereffects of excessive drinking, often translated as "carousing" or "hangover." It conveys a sense of overindulgence and the resulting stupor or headache that follows. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a state of moral or spiritual stupor resulting from indulgence in worldly pleasures. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, excessive drinking and revelry were common in various social and religious contexts. Feasts and banquets often involved heavy drinking, which was sometimes associated with pagan worship practices. The early Christian community, living in such a cultural milieu, was called to a life of sobriety and self-control, contrasting with the surrounding culture's excesses.
