Language

gat is the place or apparatus being trodden, used for grain-hiding work and for treading associated with wine.

The attested use denotes a place or apparatus for treading: it is used for Gideon's beating of wheat, for people treading in connection with wine and produce, and in descriptions of garments or Judah in relation to treading.

Senses in use

  1. Place or apparatus used for treading · dominant

    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.
