Strong's Lexicon yeqeb: Winepress, wine vat Original Word: יֶקֶב Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to excavate 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 term "yeqeb" refers to a winepress or a vat where grapes are trodden to extract juice for making wine. It is used in the context of agriculture and viticulture in ancient Israel, symbolizing abundance and blessing, as well as judgment and wrath when associated with divine retribution. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, viticulture was a significant part of the agrarian economy. Winepresses were essential for processing grapes into wine, a staple in the diet and a symbol of joy and celebration. The process involved treading grapes in a vat, allowing the juice to flow into a lower basin. Winepresses were often hewn out of rock or constructed from stone, reflecting the labor-intensive nature of wine production. The imagery of the winepress is also used metaphorically in the Bible to depict God's judgment, where the pressing of grapes symbolizes the outpouring of divine wrath.
