Lees:
the coarser parts of a liquor, its sediment or dregs. "Wine on the lees" means a generous, full‐bodied liquor (Isaiah 25:6). Before the wine was consumed, it was necessary to strain off the lees; such wine was then termed "well refined." (Isaiah 25:6). To drink the lees, or "dregs," was an expression for the endurance of extreme punishment (Psalm 75:8).
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.
