What is a Vat

What is a Vat

Proverbs 3:10

Excerpt
And your vats will be bursting with wine: Vats refers to large containers, sometimes cisterns carved out of stone, tubs, or wooden vessels for holding the juice of grapes as it ferments into wine. In Matt 9:17 wine is stored in skins. The word rendered vatsmay also refer to the wine press. The picture presented in this line is of wine vats or presses running over because they cannot contain the abundance of wine. More
