Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar contexts is "πίνω" (pinō), which also means "to drink."

Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaq" primarily means "to drink" or "to give to drink." It is used in contexts where the act of drinking is literal, such as consuming water or other beverages. The term can also imply providing drink to others, highlighting hospitality or care.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, water was a precious resource, often scarce and highly valued. The act of drinking or providing drink was not only a basic necessity but also a gesture of hospitality and kindness. Wells and springs were central to community life, and sharing water was a sign of goodwill and covenantal relationships.
