his drinking-feast
| Root | שתה (sh-t-h) |
| Core Meanings | to drink, imbibe, partake of drink |
| Semantic Range | act of drinking; drinking occasion; banquet; feast, especially one marked by wine consumption |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical narrative, the מִשְׁתֶּה often marks moments of celebration, covenantal fellowship, royal display, or moral testing. As a "drinking-feast," it highlights communal participation and can frame pivotal events in Israel’s story. |
| Morphological Notes | Common masculine singular noun in construct (מִשְׁתֵּי) with 3ms suffix (־ו), literally "the drinking of him" → "his drinking-feast." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מִשְׁתֶּה derives from the root שתה ("to drink") and denotes a drinking occasion that developed into a banquet or feast. The form is masculine singular construct with a 3ms pronominal suffix, thus "his" must be included, yielding "his drinking-feast" to preserve both the root sense of drinking and the possessive morphology. |
