All four occurrences show the noun in a treading-work setting. In Judges 6:11 the APB renders Gideon as beating wheat there to hide from Midian; in Nehemiah 13:15 it renders people treading there while handling wine, grapes, and other loads; Isaiah 63:2 and Lamentations 1:15 describe garments and Judah in connection with one who treads.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “wine press” in Isaiah 63:2, Judges 6:11, and Lamentations 1:15, and “winepresses” in Nehemiah 13:15. These renderings confirm the clauses' treading settings rather than establish finer distinctions.
