Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to effervesce.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1098: γλεῦκος (gleukos) • Refers to sweet new wine, typically associated with the early stages of fermentation.
• G3631: οἶνος (oinos) • The general term for wine in the Greek New Testament, used similarly to יַיִן (yayin) in the Hebrew Bible, encompassing both its positive and negative aspects.

Usage: The term יַיִן (yayin) is used throughout the Hebrew Bible to refer to wine, a fermented beverage made from grapes. It is associated with both positive and negative connotations, symbolizing joy and celebration as well as excess and moral failure.

Context: יַיִן (yayin) is a significant term in the Hebrew Bible, appearing in various contexts that highlight its cultural and religious importance. It is often mentioned in conjunction with feasting and celebration, as seen in passages like Genesis 14:18, where Melchizedek, king of Salem, brings out bread and wine. In Psalm 104:15, wine is described as something that "gladdens the heart of man."

However, yayin also serves as a cautionary symbol of excess and moral decline. Proverbs 20:1 warns, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." The dual nature of wine is further illustrated in the narrative of Noah (Genesis 9:21) and Lot (Genesis 19:32-35), where intoxication leads to shameful outcomes.

In religious rituals, yayin was used as a drink offering, as prescribed in the sacrificial system (Exodus 29:40). The Nazarite vow, as outlined in Numbers 6:3, explicitly prohibits the consumption of wine, highlighting its potential to lead to intoxication and distraction from spiritual commitments.

The prophetic literature often uses wine metaphorically to describe divine judgment or blessing. For instance, Isaiah 55:1 invites the thirsty to "come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost," symbolizing the abundance of God's provision.
