ἀσκός

Strong’s: G779

Associated OET lemmas: ἀσκός

Form 1

Part of speech: noun, m.

Inflections: ἀσκός; -οῦ

Sense 1: wineskin

Semantic entry: 6.132

Semantic domains: Artifacts

Subdomains: Containers

Definition: a bag made of skin or leather; used for temporarily storing and carrying wine

Notes: A number of translators have attempted to substitute ‘bottles’ for ‘wineskins,’ but this has not been satisfactory, since fermenting wine does not normally break glass bottles, while it would break old wineskins. In circumstances in which the use of wineskins is not known, it may be necessary to employ some type of descriptive phrase (for example, ‘a container made of skin’ or ‘a closed bag of skin’ or ‘a goat skin like a bottle’) and a fuller explanation in the margin.

17 And they don’t put new wine into an old container, otherwise the container could split and be ruined, and the wine would be lost. Instead, they put new wine into a new container, and both survive.”

OET-LV MAT 9:17

17 Nor are_they_putting new wine into old wineskins, and if not surely, the wineskins are_being_burst, and the wine is_being_poured_out and the wineskins are_being_destroyed.
But they_are_putting new wine into new wineskins, and both are_being_preserved.
Show passage in OET: MRK 2:22

22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskin containers, because the wine will burst the already stretched wineskins, and then both the wine and the wineskins will be destroyed. New wine must be put into new wineskins.”

OET-LV MRK 2:22

22 And no_one is_putting new wine into old wineskins, and if not the wine will_be_bursting the wineskins, and the wine and the wineskins is_being_destroyed.
But new wine is placeable into new wineskins.
