Winefat
Winefat - (
Mark 12:1). The original word (
hypolenion) so rendered occurs only here in the
New Testament. It properly denotes the trough or lake (
lacus), as it was called by the
Romans, into which the
juice of the
grapes ran from the trough above it. It is here used, however, of the whole apparatus. In the parallel passage in
Matthew 21:33 the
Greek word
lenos is used. This properly denotes the upper one of the two vats.
