Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁכַר (shakar), which means "to be or become drunk." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of שִׁכּוֹר in the Septuagint and the New Testament is often associated with the term μέθη (G3182), which also denotes drunkenness or intoxication. This Greek term appears in passages such as Ephesians 5:18, where believers are admonished, "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." The parallel between the Hebrew and Greek terms highlights a consistent biblical theme regarding the perils of drunkenness and the call to a life of temperance and spiritual alertness. Usage: The word שִׁכּוֹר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who are drunk or intoxicated. It is often used in contexts that warn against the dangers of excessive drinking and the moral and social consequences of such behavior. Context: The term שִׁכּוֹר appears in various passages throughout the Hebrew Bible, often highlighting the negative aspects of drunkenness. In the Old Testament, intoxication is frequently associated with moral decay, loss of self-control, and social disorder. For instance, in Isaiah 28:7, the prophets and priests are described as staggering from beer and being befuddled with wine, leading to errors in judgment and vision. Similarly, Proverbs 20:1 warns that "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." The portrayal of drunkenness in these texts serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing the importance of sobriety and self-discipline. The cultural context of the ancient Near East, where wine was a common beverage, underscores the need for moderation and the avoidance of excess.
