Berean Strong's Lexicon mashqeh: Cupbearer, drink, drink offering Original Word: מַשְׁקֶה Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: mashqeh Pronunciation: mash-KEH Phonetic Spelling: (mash-keh') Definition: Cupbearer, drink, drink offering Meaning: causing to drink, a butler, drink, a well-watered region Word Origin: From the root verb שָׁקָה (shaqah), meaning "to give drink" or "to water." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mashqeh," the role of a cupbearer can be related to the Greek word οἰνοχόος (oinochoos), meaning "wine-pourer" or "cupbearer." Usage: The Hebrew word "mashqeh" primarily refers to a cupbearer, a person who serves drinks, especially in a royal context. It can also denote a drink or a drink offering. The role of a cupbearer was significant in ancient times, as they were trusted officials responsible for serving wine to the king, ensuring it was not poisoned. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the position of a cupbearer was one of great trust and responsibility. The cupbearer not only served drinks but also had close access to the king, often becoming a confidant and advisor. This role is exemplified in the account of Nehemiah, who served as the cupbearer to the Persian king Artaxerxes. The cupbearer's duty was crucial for the safety and well-being of the king, highlighting the importance of loyalty and integrity in this position.
