Bottle:
a vessel made of skins for holding wine (Jos 9:4. 13; 1Sa 16:20; Mat 9:17; Mar 2:22; Luk 5:37,38), or milk (Jdg 4:19), or water (Gen 21:14,15,19), or strong drink (Hab 2:15).
Earthenware vessels were also similarly used (Jer 19:1-10; 1Ki 14:3; Isa 30:14). In Job 32:19 (Mat 9:17; Luk 5:37,38; Mar 2:22) the reference is to a wine-skin ready to burst through the fermentation of the wine. "Bottles of wine" in the Authorized Version of Hsa 7:5 is properly rendered in the Revised Version by "the heat of wine," i.e., the fever of wine, its intoxicating strength.
The clouds are figuratively called the "bottles of heaven" (Job 38:37). A bottle blackened or shrivelled by smoke is referred to in Psa 119:83 as an image to which the psalmist likens himself.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
