Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root סָבָא (sava'), which means to drink heavily or to be satiated with drink.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G3630 (oinos): Refers to wine, a fermented drink made from grapes, commonly used in the New Testament to denote both literal wine and, metaphorically, the blood of Christ in the context of the Last Supper.
G3631 (methē): Refers to drunkenness or intoxication, often used in the New Testament to warn against the moral and spiritual dangers of excessive drinking.

These Greek terms, while not direct translations of סֹבֶא (sobe'), share thematic connections in their focus on wine and the potential for excess, reflecting similar cultural attitudes towards drinking in both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures.

Usage: The term סֹבֶא (sobe') is used in the context of drinking, often implying excessive or indulgent consumption of alcoholic beverages. It is associated with revelry and feasting.

Context: The Hebrew word סֹבֶא (sobe') appears in the Old Testament to describe occasions of drinking, often with a negative connotation of excess. It is linked to the idea of indulgence and revelry, where the focus is on the act of drinking itself rather than the social or ceremonial aspects that might accompany it. The term is used to caution against the dangers of overindulgence and the moral and social consequences that can arise from such behavior. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, drinking was a common part of social gatherings, but excessive drinking was frowned upon and often associated with moral decline and poor judgment.
