Senses in use

  1. Winepress as a place for drawing and treading · dominant

    Both occurrences use the feminine singular absolute noun for the winepress. In Haggai 2:16 the APB renders a person coming to it “to draw fifty measures”; in Isaiah 63:3 it renders the speaker as having “trodden the winepress alone” before describing treading and trampling.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “winepress” in both verses, presenting it as the place of drawing measures in Haggai 2:16 and of solitary treading in Isaiah 63:3. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate every contribution of the noun.
