Berean Strong's Lexicon shikkor: Drunk, intoxicated Original Word: שִׁכּוֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁכַר (shakar), meaning "to be or become drunk." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3184 (μεθύω, methyō): To be drunk with wine. - G3630 (οἶνος, oinos): Wine, often associated with intoxication in certain contexts. Usage: The Hebrew word "shikkor" is used to describe a state of intoxication or drunkenness. It is often employed in the Hebrew Bible to depict individuals who have consumed excessive amounts of alcohol, leading to impaired judgment and behavior. The term is used both literally, to describe physical drunkenness, and metaphorically, to illustrate spiritual or moral waywardness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, wine was a common beverage, often consumed during meals and celebrations. However, the Bible frequently warns against excessive drinking and the resulting loss of self-control. Drunkenness was viewed as a moral failing and a departure from righteous living. The Hebrew Scriptures emphasize moderation and the dangers of overindulgence, reflecting a broader cultural understanding of the importance of self-discipline and responsibility.
