their drinking-feast
| Root | שתה (sh-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | to drink, to imbibe, to consume liquid, drinking as an act |
| Semantic Range | drinking occasion, banquet, feast, celebratory meal marked by wine, festive gathering |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Hebrew Bible, the מִשְׁתֶּה often signifies communal celebration, covenantal joy, royal festivity, or at times moral excess. Rooted in the act of drinking, it highlights the social and spiritual dimensions of shared abundance, whether in righteous celebration or in contexts of indulgence and judgment. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular noun in construct form (מִשְׁתֵּי) with 3rd person masculine plural pronominal suffix (-הֶם), literally "feast of them." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁתֶּה derives from the root שתה ("to drink") and denotes a feast characterized by drinking. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their"), so the rendering preserves the singular noun and the possessive sense: "their drinking-feast." |
