Strong's Lexicon Shikkeron: Drunkenness Original Word: שִׁכְּרוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁכַר (shakar), meaning "to be drunk" or "to become intoxicated." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for drunkenness is μέθη (methē), Strong's Greek 3178, which also refers to intoxication and is used in similar contexts in the New Testament. Usage: Shikkeron refers to a state of intoxication or drunkenness. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the physical and moral state of being under the influence of alcohol, often leading to impaired judgment and behavior. The term is typically used in a negative context, highlighting the dangers and consequences of excessive drinking. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, wine was a common beverage, often consumed during meals and celebrations. However, the Bible frequently warns against the excesses of alcohol consumption. Drunkenness was seen as a moral failing and a departure from the wisdom and self-control expected of God's people. The Hebrew Scriptures often associate drunkenness with shame, folly, and sin, reflecting the cultural and religious values of moderation and sobriety.
