Berean Strong's Lexicon mimsak: Mixed drink, mixture Original Word: מִמְסָךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָסַךְ (masak), meaning "to mix" or "to mingle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3203 (μίσγω - misgo): To mix, mingle - G2767 (κέρασμα - kerasmos): A mixture, mixed wine Usage: The term "mimsak" refers to a mixed drink, often implying a beverage that has been blended with spices or other ingredients to enhance its flavor. In biblical contexts, it is typically associated with wine that has been mixed with water or spices, a common practice in ancient times to either dilute the wine or to add flavor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, wine was a staple beverage. It was often mixed with water to reduce its potency or with spices to improve its taste. This practice was not only a matter of preference but also a means of ensuring safe drinking, as water sources could be contaminated. The mixing of wine was also a part of social and religious rituals, symbolizing hospitality and celebration.
