Winepress, the vessel where grapes are trodden to extract juice (Isaiah 63:3; Haggai 2:16)
This noun refers to a winepress, specifically the treading floor where grapes are crushed underfoot to release juice. Isaiah 63:3 uses it in vivid imagery of God treading the winepress alone in judgment. Haggai 2:16 mentions coming to the winepress expecting a certain yield, in the context of agricultural disappointment. The term is distinct from the larger vat (yeqeb) that collects the pressed juice.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The treading floor or press where grapes are crushed, part of the wine-making apparatus. Spanish 'lagar' and French 'pressoir' identify this agricultural installation precisely. In Isaiah, the winepress becomes a powerful metaphor for divine judgment, while Haggai uses it literally to discuss harvest yields and economic hardship under God's hand. 2×
