Proverbs 3:10

presses shall burst out Rather, fats shall overflow, R.V. "The wine-press of the Jews consisted of two receptacles or vats placed at different elevations, in the upper one of which the grapes were trodden, while the lower one received the expressed juice. The two vats are mentioned together only in Joel 3:13, -The press (gath) is full, the vats (yekebim) overflow," the upper vat being full of fruit, the lower one overflowing with the must. Yekebis similarly applied in Joel 2:24, and probably in Proverbs 3:10, where the verb rendered burst outin the A.V. may bear the more general sense of abound." Smith's Dict. of Bible, Art. Wine-press.
