Strong's Lexicon mishqa: Drink, beverage Original Word: מִשְׁקָע Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁקָה (shaqah), meaning "to drink" or "to give to drink." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mishqa," related concepts can be found in Greek terms like "ποτόν" (poton, G4213), meaning "drink," and "σπονδή" (sponde, G4686), referring to a drink offering. Usage: The term "mishqa" refers to a drink or beverage, often used in the context of a liquid that is consumed. It can denote both ordinary drinks and those used in religious or ceremonial contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, beverages were an essential part of daily life and religious practices. Water, wine, and other drinks were not only consumed for sustenance but also played a role in hospitality and covenantal meals. The preparation and consumption of drinks were often associated with rituals and offerings, reflecting the community's relationship with God and each other.
