The Key Word — שָׁקָה, sha.qahgenerated
The verb שָׁקָה (sha.qah) is a Hiphil form meaning 'to make drink' or 'to water.' It conveys the act of providing sustenance, often associated with irrigation or giving drink to living beings. In this context, it emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the judgment, as the land will be saturated with blood, akin to watering the earth.
The choice of this verb in a prophetic context highlights the stark contrast between life-giving water and the destructive flow of blood, underscoring the severity of the impending judgment.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses drench to convey the action of saturating the land with blood.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is הִשְׁקֵיתִ֨י, I will drench, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by a noun phrase indicating the object, אֶ֧רֶץ (the land), and a prepositional phrase that specifies the source of the action, מִדָּמְךָ֖ (from your blood).
The structure emphasizes the action of drenching, with the subsequent phrases detailing the extent of the judgment, culminating in the declaration that the ravines will be filled.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שָׁקָה as ποτισθήσεται, which carries a similar meaning of watering or saturating. This choice indicates a direct connection to the act of providing water, aligning with the original Hebrew intent but emphasizing the overwhelming nature of the judgment.
The use of ποτισθήσεται in the LXX also suggests a focus on the result of the action, reinforcing the imagery of the land being saturated with blood.

Drink
The drinks of the Hebrews were water, wine, “strong drink,” and vinegar. Their drinking vessels were the cup, goblet or “basin,” the “cruse” or pitcher, and the saucer.
To drink water by measure (Ezek. 4:11), and to buy water to drink (Lam. 5:4), denote great scarcity. To drink blood means to be satiated with slaughter.
The Jews carefully strained their drinks through a sieve, through fear of violating the law of Lev. 11:20, 23, 41, 42. (See Matt. 23:24. “Strain at” should be “strain out.”)

Are among the most sublime and impressive of the Creator’s works on earth, and from the noblest and most enduring monuments of great events. Most of the mountains of Scripture thus stand as witnesses for God—every view of their lofty summits, and every recurrence to them in thought reminding us of the sacred facts and truths connected with them. Thus Mount Ararat is a standing memorial of the deluge of man’s sin, God’s justice, and God’s mercy. Mount Sinai asserts the terrors of the divine law. Mount Carmel summons us, like the prophet Elijah of old, not to "halt between two opinions;" but if Jehovah is God, to love and serve him. The mount of the Transfiguration still shines with the glory of the truths there taught, and Mounts Ebal and Gerizim still echo the curses and the blessings once so solemnly pronounced from them.
