Berean Strong's Lexicon shathah: To drink Original Word: שָׁתָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4095 (πίνω, pinō) - to drink - G4221 (ποτήριον, potērion) - cup, often used metaphorically in the New Testament Usage: The Hebrew verb "shathah" primarily means "to drink." It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, referring to the act of consuming liquids. This can include the literal drinking of water, wine, or other beverages, as well as metaphorical uses, such as drinking in the wrath of God or the cup of suffering. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, drinking was a common daily activity, essential for survival in the arid climate of the Near East. Water was a precious resource, and wine was a staple in social and religious settings. The act of drinking could symbolize hospitality, celebration, or covenantal relationships. Additionally, the imagery of drinking from a cup often carried significant theological implications, representing divine blessing or judgment.
