Dict: easton - Drink

easton:

Drink @ The drinks of the Hebrews were water, wine, "strong drink," and vinegar. Their drinking vessels were the cup, goblet or "basin," the "cruse" or pitcher, and the saucer. To drink water by measure kjv@Ezekiel:4:11), and to buy water to drink kjv@Lamentations:5:4), denote great scarcity. To drink blood means to be satiated with slaughter. The Jews carefully strained their drinks through a sieve, through fear of violating the law of kjv@Leviticus:11:20 kjv@Leviticus:11:23, 41, 42. (
See kjv@Matthew:23:24. "Strain at" should be "strain out.")
