πόσις

Strong’s: G4213

Associated OET lemmas: πόσις

Form 1

Part of speech: noun, f.

Inflections: πόσις; -εως

Related lemmas: πίνω

Sense 1: a drink

Semantic entry: 5.6

Semantic domains: Foods and Condiments

Subdomains: Food

Definition: liquids used for nourishment or to satisfy thirst

Notes: Though in many languages the equivalent of πόσις and πόμα would be a verbal derivative meaning basically ‘that which is drunk,’ in other languages the equivalent may be ‘watery food’ or ‘liquid food.’|In some languages, however, one cannot refer to ‘blood’ (RV JHN 6:55 · LV JHN 6:55 · Read together JHN 6:55) as being ‘drink,’ since blood is classified as food rather than as drink. On the other hand, it may be possible to translate ‘my blood is the real drink’ as ‘my blood is real nourishment.’ The expression ‘food and drink’ (RV HEB 9:10 · LV HEB 9:10 · Read together HEB 9:10) may be better rendered in some languages as ‘all kinds of food.’
