Wine-press - Consisted of two vats or receptacles, (1) a trough (Heb. gath,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Gr. lenos) into which the grapes were thrown and where they were

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

trodden upon and bruised (Isa. 16:10; Lam. 1:15; Joel 3:13); and

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

(2) a trough or vat (Heb. yekebh, Gr. hypolenion) into which the

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

juice ran from the trough above, the gath (Neh. 13:15; Job

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

24:11; Isa. 63:2, 3; Hag. 2:16; Joel 2:24). Wine-presses are

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

found in almost every part of Palestine. They are "the only sure

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

relics we have of the old days of Israel before the Captivity.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Between Hebron and Beersheba they are found on all the hill

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

slopes; they abound in southern Judea; they are no less common

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

in the many valleys of Carmel; and they are numerous in

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Galilee." The "treading of the wine-press" is emblematic of

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

divine judgment (Isa. 63:2; Lam. 1:15; Rev. 14:19, 20).
