Drink, beverage, or drinking-vessel contents; also well-watered land or irrigation, emphasizing water supply for fertility
A noun from the root 'to give drink,' covering both what is drunk and land that has been watered. In its beverage sense, it describes drinking vessels in Solomon's court (1 Kgs 10:21; 2 Chr 9:20), liquid that could render food ritually unclean (Lev 11:34), and drink withheld from the thirsty (Isa 32:6). In its irrigation sense, it paints the lush Jordan plain as 'well-watered everywhere, like the garden of the LORD' (Gen 13:10). Spanish captures the split neatly: 'bebida' for drink versus 'regada' for watered land.
Senses
1. drink, beverage — A drink, beverage, or the contents of drinking vessels. Used for Solomon's golden drinking-vessels (1 Kgs 10:21 = 2 Chr 9:20), for liquid that can transmit ritual impurity to food (Lev 11:34), and for drink denied to the thirsty by the fool (Isa 32:6). Spanish 'bebida' and German 'trinken' straightforwardly render the consumable liquid sense, while French 'boire' captures the act of drinking itself. 4×

2. well-watered land, irrigation — Well-watered land or irrigation — an abstract-for-concrete usage meaning land that has received abundant water. In Gen 13:10 the Jordan plain is described as mashqeh, 'well-watered,' like the garden of the LORD. Ezek 45:15 extends this to pastures from well-watered land. Spanish 'regada' (irrigated) and English 'well-watered' both highlight the agricultural fertility angle, distinguishing this firmly from the beverage sense. 2×
