Vinegar:
akin to oxus, "sharp," denotes "sour wine," the ordinary drink of laborers and common soldiers; it is used in the four Gospels of the "vinegar" offered to the Lord at His crucifixion. In Mat 27:34 the best texts have oinos, "wine" (RV). Some have oxos (AV, "vinegar"), but Mar 15:23 (AV and RV) confirms the RV in the passage in Matthew. This which the soldiers offered before crucifying, was refused by Him, as it was designed to alleviate His sufferings; the "vinegar" is mentioned in Mar 15:36; so Luk 23:36; Jhn 19:29, 30. In the Sept., Num 6:3; Rth 2:14; Psa 69:21; Pro 25:20.
