liker: Every sort of intoxicating liquor except the beverage prepared from the juice of the grape (yayin), according to the usage of the Old Testament, is comprehended under the generic term , shekhar (compare shakhar, to be drunk), rendered strong drink (compare Greek skera in Luk 1:15). The two terms, yayin and shekhar, wine and strong drink, are often found together and are used by Old Testament writers as an exhaustive classification of the beverages in use among the ancient Hebrews (Lev 10:9; 1Sa 1:15; Pro 20:1, etc.).
