Definition: The English translation "alkines" in the KJV (Koine Greek alphabet) likely refers to an item or substance believed by some scholars to be a type of alcoholic drink. The exact meaning is unclear as it may have been borrowed from other languages, but its origins are not easily determined. A traditional interpretation suggests that the term was originally associated with wine or alcohol, which many sources believe may have been brewed in ancient Mesopotamia and Babylon, as well as later on in Egypt. The term "alkine" could also be a corruption of "alka", a Greek word meaning "to make" or "to drink". This could suggest the original use was to brew alcohol. The exact context of such an item or substance being referred to is not clear from the KJV text alone, but it is generally accepted as belonging to either a type of alcoholic beverage or as a symbol of drunkenness. The meaning and usage of this term may vary depending on the specific context in which it's mentioned.
