of the drinking-feast

Rootשתה (sh-t-h)
Core Meaningsto drink, imbibe, partake of drink
Semantic Rangebanquet, drinking feast, celebratory meal centered on wine, royal feast
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical narrative, the מִשְׁתֶּה often marks moments of royal display, covenantal fellowship, celebration, or decisive turning points, where communal drinking symbolizes joy, alliance, or sometimes excess and vulnerability.
Morphological NotesAramaic common masculine singular noun in the construct state, determined (ANcmsd/Td); denotes possession or association ("of").
Rendering RationaleThe noun מִשְׁתֶּה derives from the root שתה ("to drink") and denotes a feast characterized by drinking. Rendering it as "drinking-feast" preserves the connection to the act of drinking rather than using the more generic "banquet." The construct singular form (masculine singular determined) is reflected by "of the drinking-feast."
