1. a tubor trough-shaped receptacle, vat, in which grapes are trodden (A. V. wine-press) (Hebrew âÇÌú): Rev 14:20; Rev 19:15; τήν ληνόν ... τόν μέγαν (for R Tr marginal reading τήν μεγάλην), Rev 14:19 — a variation in gender which (though not rare in Hebrew, see Gesenius, Lehrgeb., p. 717) can hardly be matched in Greek writings; cf.

2. equivalent to ὑπολήνιον (Isa 16:10; Mar 12:1) or προλήνιον (Isa 5:2), Hebrew éÆ÷Æá, the lower vat, dug in the ground, into which the must or new wine flowed from the press: Mat 21:33. Cf. Winers RWB, under the word Kelter; Roskoff in Schenkel 3:513; (BB. DD. under the word ).
