Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁכַר (shakar), which means "to be or become drunk."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3178 (μεθύω, methyō): to be drunk Usage: The term שִׁכָּרוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of drunkenness or intoxication. It is often associated with moral and spiritual decline, serving as a warning against excessive indulgence in alcohol. Context: The Hebrew word שִׁכָּרוֹן (shikkaron) appears in the context of warnings against drunkenness and its consequences. In the Old Testament, intoxication is frequently depicted as a condition that leads to folly, shame, and moral failure. For instance, in Isaiah 28:7, the prophet condemns the priests and prophets who "reel with wine and stagger from strong drink," illustrating how intoxication can lead to a loss of spiritual discernment and authority. Similarly, in Ezekiel 23:33, the term is used metaphorically to describe the judgment and desolation that will come upon those who indulge in excess. The Bible consistently portrays intoxication as a state that is contrary to the wisdom and self-control expected of God's people. It serves as a cautionary example of how physical indulgence can lead to spiritual and social downfall.
