Strong's Lexicon chemeth: Bottle, skin, wineskin Original Word: חֵמֶת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be hot Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G779 (ἀσκός, askos): Refers to a wineskin or leather bag, used in the New Testament to describe similar containers. Usage: The term "chemeth" refers to a container made from animal skin, typically used in ancient times for storing and transporting liquids such as water, wine, or milk. These skins were sewn together and sealed to prevent leakage, making them practical for nomadic lifestyles and long journeys. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, skins were a common and essential item for daily life, especially in arid regions where water sources were scarce. The use of animal skins as containers dates back to early human history and was prevalent among the Israelites and their neighbors. These skins were valued for their durability and flexibility, allowing them to expand as the contents fermented, particularly in the case of wine.
