It is used in the Bible to describe celebratory gatherings, which could be either joyous or solemn, depending on the context. These events were significant in social and religious life, serving as occasions for fellowship, celebration, and sometimes covenant-making.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, feasts and banquets were central to social life. They were occasions for hospitality, celebration, and the strengthening of community bonds. Such gatherings could be held for various reasons, including weddings, religious festivals, royal events, or to honor a guest. The consumption of wine was common, and these events could last several days. Feasts were also opportunities to display wealth and generosity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4960.htm">mishteh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a feast<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>banquet (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>banquet <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4960.htm">mishteh</a>; a banquet -- banquet. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/4960.htm">mishteh</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מִשְׁתְּיָ֖א משתיא miš·tə·yā mishteYa mištəyā<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/5-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 5:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְרַבְרְבָנ֔וֹהִי לְבֵ֥ית <b> מִשְׁתְּיָ֖א </b> [עַלֲלַת כ]</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> entered <span class="itali">the banquet</span> hall<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> came <span class="itali">into the banquet</span> house:<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/5-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and his nobles hall <span class="itali">the banquet</span> bring in spoke<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4961.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4961.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4961<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/mishteya_4961.htm">miš·tə·yā — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4960.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4960"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4960" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4962.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4962"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4962" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
