This verbal adjective expresses necessity or obligation—specifically, that something must be put or placed. In Luke 5:38, Jesus uses it in teaching about new wine: it must be put into fresh wineskins. The form conveys divine necessity or natural law rather than mere human preference. The translations handle this modal requirement differently: Spanish debe echarse ("must be poured"), French il faut mettre ("it is necessary to put"), German and Spanish both capturing the obligatory nature of this principle about incompatibility between new wine and old containers.
