The Scriptures provide insights into the types of beverages consumed, their symbolic meanings, and the guidelines surrounding their use.<br><br><b>Water</b><br><br>Water is the most fundamental drink mentioned in the Bible, essential for life and often symbolizing purification and spiritual renewal. In <a href="/genesis/21-19.htm">Genesis 21:19</a>, God provides water for Hagar and Ishmael in the desert, demonstrating His provision. Water also plays a significant role in rituals, such as in the purification rites described in <a href="/leviticus/14-5.htm">Leviticus 14:5-6</a>.<br><br><b>Wine</b><br><br>Wine is frequently mentioned in the Bible, both as a common beverage and as a symbol of joy and blessing. In <a href="/genesis/14-18.htm">Genesis 14:18</a>, Melchizedek, king of Salem, brings out bread and wine to Abram, signifying hospitality and covenant. Wine is also used in religious ceremonies, such as the Passover meal (<a href="/exodus/12-8.htm">Exodus 12:8-10</a>) and the Last Supper (<a href="/matthew/26-27.htm">Matthew 26:27-29</a>). The Bible acknowledges the potential for wine to lead to drunkenness and warns against its abuse. <a href="/proverbs/20.htm">Proverbs 20:1</a> states, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."<br><br><b>Strong Drink</b><br><br>Strong drink, or fermented beverages other than wine, is mentioned in the Bible with caution. In <a href="/leviticus/10-9.htm">Leviticus 10:9</a>, priests are instructed not to drink wine or strong drink when entering the tent of meeting, highlighting the importance of sobriety in worship. <a href="/isaiah/5-11.htm">Isaiah 5:11</a> warns against those who "rise early in the morning to pursue strong drink, who linger into the evening to be inflamed by wine."<br><br><b>Milk</b><br><br>Milk is another beverage referenced in the Bible, often symbolizing abundance and nourishment. The Promised Land is described as "a land flowing with milk and honey" (<a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a>), indicating prosperity and divine blessing. Milk is also used metaphorically in <a href="/1_peter/2-2.htm">1 Peter 2:2</a>, where new believers are encouraged to crave pure spiritual milk for growth in salvation.<br><br><b>Honey</b><br><br>While not a drink in the traditional sense, honey is sometimes consumed in liquid form and is associated with sweetness and delight. In <a href="/proverbs/24-13.htm">Proverbs 24:13</a>, the consumption of honey is encouraged: "Eat honey, my son, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your taste." Honey is also used symbolically to describe the richness of God's word (<a href="/psalms/19-10.htm">Psalm 19:10</a>).<br><br><b>Vinegar</b><br><br>Vinegar, a sour wine, is mentioned in the context of hardship and suffering. In <a href="/ruth/2-14.htm">Ruth 2:14</a>, Boaz offers Ruth bread dipped in vinegar, a gesture of kindness. Vinegar is also offered to Jesus on the cross as a form of mockery and fulfillment of prophecy (<a href="/john/19-29.htm">John 19:29</a>).<br><br><b>Symbolism and Spiritual Significance</b><br><br>Drinks in the Bible often carry deeper spiritual meanings. Water symbolizes cleansing and life, as seen in Jesus' offer of "living water" to the Samaritan woman (<a href="/john/4-10.htm">John 4:10</a>). Wine represents the blood of Christ in the New Covenant, a central element of the Lord's Supper. The Bible uses these beverages to convey spiritual truths and to illustrate the relationship between God and His people.<br><br><b>Guidelines and Warnings</b><br><br>The Bible provides guidelines for the consumption of drinks, emphasizing moderation and self-control. <a href="/ephesians/5-18.htm">Ephesians 5:18</a> advises, "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." Believers are encouraged to exercise wisdom and discernment in their choices, ensuring that their actions honor God and reflect His holiness.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4095.htm"><span class="l">4095. pino -- to drink</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin a prim. word Definition to drink NASB Word Usage drank (5),<br> drink (49), drinking (11), <b>drinks</b> (8), drunk (1). drink. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/4095.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/8248.htm"><span class="l">8248. shaqah -- cause to drink water, give to drink</span></a><br><b>...</b> root Definition cause to drink water, give to drink NASB Word Usage drink (23),<br> <b>drinks</b> were served (1), gave him a drink (2), gave me to drink (1), gave the a <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/8248.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/8354.htm"><span class="l">8354. shathah -- to drink</span></a><br><b>...</b> NASB Word Usage certainly drink (2), drank (27), drink (138), drink the will certainly<br> (1), drink down (1), drinkers (1), drinking (18), <b>drinks</b> (9), drunk (11 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/8354.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/moody/moodys_anecdotes_and_illustrations/a_man_drinks_up_a.htm"><span class="l">A Man <b>Drinks</b> up a Farm.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> A Man <b>Drinks</b> up a Farm.
