Strong's Lexicon methuó: To be drunk, to become intoxicated Original Word: μεθύω Word Origin: Derived from μέθυ (methy), meaning "wine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7937 (שָׁכַר, shakar): To be or become drunk - H8354 (שָׁתָה, shathah): To drink, often used in contexts of drinking wine Usage: The verb "methuó" primarily refers to the state of being intoxicated or drunk with wine or strong drink. It is used in the New Testament to describe the physical and moral state of drunkenness, often highlighting the loss of self-control and the potential for sinful behavior that accompanies it. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, wine was a common beverage, often consumed with meals. While moderate consumption was socially acceptable, excessive drinking leading to drunkenness was generally frowned upon, as it was associated with a lack of self-control and moral decay. In Jewish culture, wine was also a part of religious ceremonies and celebrations, but drunkenness was condemned as it led to behavior contrary to the values of sobriety and righteousness.
