Pressfat Press
Pressfat Press [1]
Press, Pressfat . The former occurs in the Ot for the usual ‘winepress’ in Proverbs 3:10 (Rv [Note: Revised Version.] ‘fats’; in modern English, ‘vats’), Isaiah 16:10 , where alone it is retained in Rv [Note: Revised Version.] , and Joel 3:13 Rv [Note: Revised Version.] ‘winepress.’ Also Haggai 2:16 Av [Note: Authorized Version.] , along with the only instance of ‘pressfat’ (Rv [Note: Revised Version.] ‘winefat’), as the rendering of a rare word, which Rv [Note: Revised Version.] wrongly tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘vessels.’ The passage in question should run: ‘When one came to the winepress (expecting) to draw off fifty (measures [probably ‘baths’ are intended]) from the wine-trough, there were but twenty.’ For the ancient winepresses, see Wine and Strong Drink, § 2 .
