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

        Glosses: wineskin

        Comments: 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.
