Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָסַס (asás), which means to press or squeeze.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3178 (μεθύω, methyō): To be drunk, often used in the context of wine consumption.
• G3501 (νέος, neos): New, young, often used to describe new wine.
• G3631 (οἶνος, oinos): Wine, a general term for fermented grape juice, used extensively in the New Testament.

These Greek terms provide a broader understanding of the concept of wine and grape juice in the biblical context, paralleling the Hebrew understanding of עָסִיס as fresh, unfermented grape juice.

Usage: The word עָסִיס is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote fresh grape juice, often in the context of abundance and blessing. It is associated with the joy and prosperity of a fruitful harvest.

Context: • The term עָסִיס appears in several Old Testament passages, highlighting its significance in the agricultural and religious life of ancient Israel. It is often mentioned in conjunction with wine and other agricultural products as a symbol of divine blessing and prosperity.
• In Isaiah 49:26, עָסִיס is used metaphorically to describe the abundance and satisfaction that God will provide to His people: "I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh, and they will be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine (עָסִיס). Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
• Joel 1:5 uses עָסִיס to lament the loss of joy and abundance due to a locust plague: "Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the new wine (עָסִיס), for it has been snatched from your lips."
• The use of עָסִיס in these contexts underscores its role as a symbol of joy, celebration, and divine favor, as well as the consequences of its absence.
