In ancient agrarian societies, barns were essential for storing grain and other produce. A barn filled with plenty indicates a successful harvest, which was seen as a blessing from God. This reflects the covenantal promises found in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-8.htm">Deuteronomy 28:8</a>, where obedience to God results in blessings on the storehouses. The imagery of full barns symbolizes not just material wealth but also divine favor and provision. It underscores the principle that honoring God with one's resources leads to His provision and care.<p><b>and your vats will overflow with new wine</b><br>Vats were used for pressing grapes and collecting wine, a staple in the diet and culture of the ancient Near East. Overflowing vats signify an abundance of wine, which in biblical times was a sign of joy and celebration (<a href="/psalms/104-15.htm">Psalm 104:15</a>). This imagery is often associated with God's blessings and the joy that comes from His provision. The mention of "new wine" points to freshness and renewal, echoing the newness of life found in Christ (<a href="/matthew/9-17.htm">Matthew 9:17</a>). The abundance of wine also has eschatological overtones, pointing to the Messianic age of prosperity and peace, as seen in <a href="/amos/9-13.htm">Amos 9:13-14</a>, where the mountains drip with sweet wine. This phrase, therefore, not only promises material blessings but also spiritual joy and fulfillment.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>Traditionally considered the author of Proverbs, Solomon was the son of King David and known for his wisdom.

Few persons find it easy to realize that giving away will increase their store (Wardlaw). The teacher is warranted in bringing forward this promise by the language of Moses in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-1.htm">Deuteronomy 28:1-8</a>, whine, among other things, he promises that Jehovah will command a blessing upon the "storehouses" and industry of those who honour God. The principle is otherwise expressed in <a href="/proverbs/11-25.htm">Proverbs 11:25</a>, "The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be also watered himself;" and it is exemplified in <a href="/haggai/1-3.htm">Haggai 1:3-11</a>; <a href="/haggai/2-15.htm">Haggai 2:15, 19</a>; <a href="/malachi/3-10.htm">Malachi 3:10-12</a>, and in the New Testament in <a href="/philippians/4-14.htm">Philippians 4:14-19</a>; <a href="/2_corinthians/9-6.htm">2 Corinthians 9:6-8</a>. <span class="accented">Thy barns</span>; <span class="accented">asameykha</span>, the only form in which <span class="accented">asam</span>, "a storehouse," "barn," or "granary," occurs. The Hebrew <span class="accented">asam</span> is the same as the Latin <span class="accented">horreum</span> (Vulgate) and the Greek <span class="greek">ταμιεῖον</span> (LXX.). <span class="accented">With plenty</span> (<span class="accented">sava</span>); Vulgate, <span class="accented">saturitas</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> fulness, abundance, plenty. The root <span class="accented">sava</span> is "to become satisfied," and that richly satisfied. This expression and the following, <span class="cmt_word">and thy presses shall burst out with new wine,</span> depict the greatest abundance. <span class="accented">Thy presses</span> (<span class="accented">y'kaveykhu</span>). The word here translated "presses" is, strictly speaking," vats" or "reservoirs," into which the must from the wine press flowed. The wine press consisted of two parts, the <span class="accented">gath</span> (equivalent to the Latin <span class="accented">torcularium, torculum</span>, or <span class="accented">torcular</span>; Greek, <span class="greek">ληνός</span>, <a href="/matthew/21-33.htm">Matthew 21:33</a>), into which the grapes were collected from the surrounding vineyard, and there trodden underfoot by several persons (<a href="/nehemiah/13-15.htm">Nehemiah 13:15</a>: <a href="/isaiah/63-3.htm">Isaiah 63:3</a>; <a href="/lamentations/1-15.htm">Lamentations 1:15</a>), whose movements were regulated by singing or shouting (<a href="/isaiah/16-10.htm">Isaiah 16:10</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/48-33.htm">Jeremiah 48:33</a>), as among the Greeks (see 'Athen.,' 5. p. 199, <span class="accented">a</span>; Anacreon, 'Od.,' 17:1, 52; cf. Theocritus, 7:25) and Egyptians (Wilkinson, 'Man. and Cust.,' vol. 2. pp. 152-157); and the <span class="accented">yekev</span>, used here, which was a trough of corresponding size, dug into the ground, or cut out of a rack, at a lower level, to receive the must. The <span class="accented">yekev</span> corresponded with the Greek <span class="greek">ὑπολήνιον</span>, mentioned in <a href="/mark/12.htm">Mark 12</a>:l, and the Latin <span class="accented">lacus</span> (Ovid, 'Fasti,' 5:888; Pliny, 'Epist.,' 9:20; 'Colum. de Rust.,' 12:18): Cajeterus, indeed, reads, <span class="accented">lacus torcularii.</span> The word <span class="accented">yekev</span> is, however, used for the wine press itself in <a href="/job/24-11.htm">Job 24:11</a> and <a href="/2_kings/6-27.htm">2 Kings 6:27</a>. <span class="accented">Shall burst out</span> (<span class="accented">yiph'rotsu</span>); literally, <span class="accented">they shall extend themselves</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> shall overflow. <span class="accented">Parats</span>, "to break," is here used metaphorically in the sense of "to be redundant," "to overflow" (cf. <a href="/2_samuel/5-20.htm">2 Samuel 5:20</a>).
