Usage: The term "yageb" refers to a winepress, a structure or device used for pressing grapes to extract juice for wine production. In biblical times, winepresses were often hewn out of rock or constructed from stone, and they played a significant role in agricultural and economic life.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, wine was a staple beverage and an important part of daily life, religious rituals, and celebrations. The process of winemaking was labor-intensive, involving the harvesting of grapes, crushing them in a winepress, and fermenting the juice.
