Berean Strong's Lexicon gath: Winepress Original Word: גַּת Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to tread out grapes Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3025 (ληνός, lenos): Refers to a winepress in the New Testament, used in contexts such as the parable of the wicked tenants (Matthew 21:33). Usage: The Hebrew word "gath" refers to a winepress, a structure or device used for extracting juice from grapes during the winemaking process. In biblical times, winepresses were often hewn out of rock or constructed from stone, and they played a crucial role in the agricultural and economic life of ancient Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, vineyards and wine production were significant aspects of daily life and economy. The winepress was a symbol of abundance and blessing, as wine was a staple in the diet and used in religious rituals. The process of treading grapes in a winepress was labor-intensive and often a communal activity. Winepresses are frequently mentioned in the Bible as metaphors for judgment and blessing, reflecting their dual role in both sustenance and divine symbolism.
