lenos denotes the press associated with a vineyard and with treading the harvest in Scripture.

The term denotes a press: in Matthew 21:33 it is dug within a vineyard, while Revelation 14:19, Revelation 14:20, and Revelation 19:15 place it in scenes of harvesting or treading.

Senses in use

  1. Press used for vineyard harvest and treading · dominant

    In Matthew 21:33, the accusative singular form occurs in the clause about a householder who dug a press in a vineyard. In Revelation 14:19 and Revelation 19:15, the same accusative singular form is associated with casting in the earth's vine and treading; Revelation 14:20 uses nominative singular forms in the clause describing the press as trodden and what came out from it.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "winepress" in all four verses, whether it is dug in a vineyard, receives the harvest, or is trodden. This consistency confirms the verse-level setting rather than a distinct rendering for each form.
