Reference: Press, Pressfat
Hastings
The former occurs in the OT for the usual 'winepress' in Pr 3:10 (RV 'fats'; in modern English, 'vats'), Isa 16:10, where alone it is retained in RV, and Joe 3:13 RV 'winepress.' Also Hag 2:16 AV, along with the only instance of 'pressfat' (RV 'winefat'), as the rendering of a rare word, which RV wrongly tr 'vessels.' The passage in question should run: 'When one came to the winepress (expecting) to draw off fifty (measures [probably 'baths' are intended]) from the wine-trough, there were but twenty.'
