Strong's Lexicon mishteh: Feast, banquet, drinking party Original Word: מִשְׁתֶּה Word Origin: From the root שָׁתָה (shathah), meaning "to drink." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1403 δειπνέω (deipneō) - to dine, to make a meal - G1173 δεῖπνον (deipnon) - supper, dinner, feast Usage: The term "mishteh" primarily refers to a feast or banquet, often characterized by the consumption of food and drink. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe celebratory gatherings, which could be either secular or religious in nature. These events were typically marked by communal joy, fellowship, and sometimes the marking of significant events or covenants. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, feasts and banquets were significant social events. They served as opportunities for community bonding, celebration of victories, religious observances, and the establishment or reinforcement of social and political alliances. The act of sharing a meal was seen as a gesture of peace and goodwill. In the biblical context, feasts could also have religious significance, such as the Passover meal, which commemorated the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt.
