Drink-Offering
(, ne’sek, or , nasik’; , compare , Php 2:17). One form of this consisted, according to the ritual law, of wine (Num 15:5; Hos 9:4; Sir 1:15 [17]; compare Curt. 7:8, 18; Pliny, 14:14; Iliad, 1:463; 10:579; Odys. 12:362; on the best sorts of wine for this purpose, see the Mishna, Menach. 8:6 sq.), which, according to Josephus (Ant. 3:9, 4), was poured around the altar (rept ( ; i.e., the burnt altar, Exo 30:9), and not, as the Jews understand it (Mishna, Succah, 4:9), in a channel or tube of it. Drink- offerings were commonly joined with meatofferings (Num 6:15; Num 6:17; 2Ki 16:13; Joe 1:9; Joe 1:13; Joe 2:14), an addition to the burnt and thank offerings (not the sin and trespass offering), which consisted of quadrupeds (Num 6:17; Num 15:5; Num 15:10; 1Ch 29:21; 2Ch 29:35), and were, like these, presented, sometimes by private persons and sometimes in the name of the people, daily (Exo 29:40; Num 28:7), on the Sabbath (Num 28:9), and on feast-days (Num 28:14; Num 29:6; Num 29:16; Num 29:24), in such proportion that one lamb was reckoned to require one fourth of a bin of wine, one ram a third of a hin, and one bullock a half hin (Num 15:5 sq.; Num 28:7; Num 28:14). In the (second) Temple liquors were kept ready for drink-offerings (Joseph; War, 10:13, 6), and were dispensed (Mishna, Shekal. 5:1, 3 and 4) by the praefect of libations ( ). The Israelites frequently devoted drink-offerings also to foreign deities (Isa 57:6; Isa 65:11; Jer 7:18; Jer 19:13; Jer 44:17; Eze 20:28), as throughout antiquity libations of wine were made to heathen gods (see Smith’s Dict. of Class. Antiq. s.v. Sacrificium, page 846). On the water-libation at the festival of booths, see TABERNACLES, FEAST OF. Libations of water occur in individual cases even prior to the exile (2Sa 23:16; 1Sa 7:6). On the other hand, Elijah poured water on the altar (1Ki 18:34 sq.) merely to heighten the effect of his miracle in contrast with his idolatrous competitors (Josephus, Ant. 8:13, 5). On the oillibation of Gen 35:14, SEE STONE. Psa 16:6 (but probably not Zec 9:7) appears to contain an allusion to heathenish drink-offerings consisting of wine mingled with blood (vinum assiratum), which, especially when persons bound themselves to a fearful undertaking, it was customary to drink (Sallust, Catil. 22:1; Sil. Ital. 2:426 sq.). SEE OFFERING.

Drink-offering
consisted of wine (Num. 15:5; Hos. 9:4) poured around the altar (Ex. 30:9). Joined with meat-offerings (Num. 6:15, 17; 2 Kings 16:13; Joel 1:9, 13; 2:14), presented daily (Ex. 29:40), on the Sabbath (Num. 28:9), and on feast-days (28:14). One-fourth of an hin of wine was required for one lamb, one-third for a ram, and one-half for a bullock (Num. 15:5; 28:7, 14). “Drink offerings of blood” (Ps. 16:4) is used in allusion to the heathen practice of mingling the blood of animals sacrificed with wine or water, and pouring out the mixture in the worship of the gods, and the idea conveyed is that the psalmist would not partake of the abominations of the heathen.

Drink-Offering
The drink-offering is nesec (, Ass. nasaku), from nasac, to pour out. The LXX always renders it . The use of the verb Nasacin Psa 2:6 is remarkable– ‘I have poured out (as a drink-offering?) my king up on my holy hill of Zion.’ Compare Pro 8:23, where wisdom is described as ‘poured out from everlasting.’ The word set adopted b, the A. V. is intelligible, but hardly adequate. The verb is twice used by St. Paul of himself as ready to be poured fort has an offering (Php 2:17; 2Ti 4:6).
