Strong's Lexicon shakar: To be drunk, to become intoxicated Original Word: שָׁכַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3184 (methuo): To be drunk with wine - G3630 (oinos): Wine Usage: The Hebrew verb "shakar" primarily means to be or become drunk or intoxicated. It is used in the context of consuming alcoholic beverages to the point of losing control or clarity of mind. The term can also imply a state of revelry or excessive indulgence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, wine and strong drink were common elements of daily life and religious ceremonies. While wine was often associated with joy and celebration, excessive drinking leading to drunkenness was generally viewed negatively. The Hebrew Scriptures contain numerous warnings against the dangers of intoxication, emphasizing the importance of self-control and moderation. Drunkenness was often associated with moral and spiritual decline, and it was seen as a behavior that could lead to poor judgment and sinful actions.
