This term presents a textual puzzle in Zechariah 11:2, where the Ketiv (written text) reads 'vintage' while the Qere (read aloud text) gives 'fortified' or 'inaccessible.' The context of judgment against Lebanon's cedars and Bashan's oaks makes the 'fortified' reading more fitting—the strongest, most inaccessible trees have fallen. This represents a classic case where scribal tradition preserved both readings, acknowledging uncertainty while guiding oral recitation toward the contextually appropriate sense.
