Skin:
"a leather bottle, wineskin," occurs in Mat 9:17 (four times); Mar 2:22 (four times); Luk 5:37 (three times), 38; in each place, RV, "wineskins" or "skins," for AV, "bottles." A whole goatskin, for example, would be used with the apertures bound up, and when filled, tied at the neck. They were tanned with acacia bark and left hairy on the outside. New wines, by fermenting, would rend old skins (cp. Jos 9:13; Job 32:19). Hung in the smoke to dry, the skin-bottles become shriveled (see Psa 119:83).
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.
