Strong's Lexicon shikkaron: Drunkenness Original Word: שִׁכָּרוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁכַר (shakar), meaning "to be drunk" or "to become intoxicated." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3178 μέθη (methē) - drunkenness - G3630 οἶνος (oinos) - wine Usage: The term "shikkaron" refers to a state of intoxication or drunkenness. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the physical and moral effects of excessive consumption of alcohol, often leading to impaired judgment and sinful behavior. The word is typically used in a negative context, highlighting the dangers and consequences of overindulgence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, wine was a common beverage, often consumed during meals and religious festivals. While moderate consumption was accepted and even celebrated, excessive drinking was condemned. Drunkenness was seen as a loss of self-control and a departure from righteous living. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently warn against the perils of intoxication, associating it with moral decay and divine disfavor.
