Subject: What is 'the fruit of the vine'? |
Bible Note: Greetings Joe! Just one quick question about Ps. 104:14-15. Is the passage refering to a fermented beverage or to the fruit of the vine? The word used in this verse can mean either. It seems that in the context that the latter would fit better. The entire passage is describing natural products like water, grass, herbs, and "wine". Notice how the NASB translate v. 14, "And wine which makes man’s heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil,..." It seems that based on this transation the "wine" is used to make the oil. A footnote in the KJV says that the Hebrew here literally reads, "to make his face shine with oil, or more than oil". So, it seems to me a stretch to make verse a reference to a fermented drink! Your Brother in Christ (either way), Tim Moran |
