wine of ape. Surly or obnoxious drunkenness. Brewer tells us: “There is a Talmud parable which says that Satan came one day to drink with Noah, and slew a lamb, a lion, a pig, and an ape, to teach Noah that man before wine is in him is a lamb, when he drinks moderately he is a lion, when like a sot he is a swine, but after that any further excess makes him an ape that senselessly chatters and jabbers.” Other sources say Satan killed and buried the animals near vines Noah was planting. Why Sa- tan would give Noah any advice is not explained. |
