press, squeeze, wring out (liquid from something)
A verb denoting pressure applied to extract liquid or crush underfoot. Gideon 'squeezed' a fleece and wrung out dew (Judg 6:38), ostrich eggs may be 'crushed' underfoot (Job 39:15), and a viper's egg when 'pressed' (or hatched?) releases danger (Isa 59:5). The sore in Isaiah 1:6 has 'not been pressed out'—not drained or treated. The Spanish exprimió, los aplastará and French/German squeeze/crush glosses all emphasize forceful compression or extraction.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The verb appears in contexts of squeezing out liquid (Judg 6:38), crushing underfoot (Job 39:15), and failing to press/treat a wound (Isa 1:6, passive). The multilingual evidence (squeezed, exprimió, crush, aplastará) points to applying pressure to extract, compress, or destroy. The semantic core is forceful manipulation of solid or semi-solid matter. 3×
