Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3178 (μεθύσκω, methysko): To make drunk, to intoxicate Usage: The verb שָׁכַר (shakar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of becoming intoxicated or drunk. It can also refer to the state of being filled or satiated with a stimulating drink, often implying a loss of control or altered state of consciousness due to the influence of alcohol. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁכַר (shakar) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often associated with the consumption of wine or strong drink. It is used both literally and metaphorically to describe intoxication. In a literal sense, it refers to the physical state of drunkenness, as seen in passages like Genesis 9:21, where Noah becomes drunk after consuming wine. Metaphorically, it can describe a state of spiritual or emotional intoxication, where individuals are overwhelmed or influenced by factors other than alcohol.
