Liquor [1]
lik´ẽr : Every sort of intoxicating liquor except the beverage prepared from the juice of the grape ( yayin ), according to the usage of the Old Testament, is comprehended under the generic term שׁכר , shēkhār (compare shākhar , to "be drunk"), rendered "strong drink" (compare Greek sı́kera in Luke 1:15 ). The two terms, yayin and shēkhār , "wine" and "strong drink," are often found together and are used by Old Testament writers as an exhaustive classification of the beverages in use among the ancient Hebrews ( Leviticus 10:9; 1 Samuel 1:15; Proverbs 20:1 , etc.). See Wine; Drink , Strong .
