Strong's Lexicon asis: New wine, fresh wine Original Word: עָסִיס Word Origin: Derived from the root אָסַס (asás), meaning "to press" or "to squeeze." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1098 (gleukos): Refers to sweet new wine, similar in concept to "asis" as freshly pressed grape juice. Usage: The term "asis" refers to freshly pressed grape juice, often understood as new wine. It is associated with the initial stages of winemaking, before fermentation has fully occurred. In the biblical context, "asis" symbolizes abundance, blessing, and the joy of harvest. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, wine was a staple of daily life and held significant cultural and religious importance. The process of winemaking began with the pressing of grapes to extract juice, which was then fermented to produce wine. "Asis" represents the first fruits of this process, a time of celebration and thanksgiving for God's provision. The imagery of new wine is often used in the Bible to convey themes of renewal, joy, and divine blessing.
