The drink offering (Hebrew: נֶסֶך, nesekh) was a form of libation forming one of the sacrifices and offerings of the Law of Moses. == Etymology == The Hebrew noun nesekh is formed from the Qal form of the verb nasakh, "to pour," hence "thing poured." The verb and the noun frequently come together, such as nasakh [aleha] nesekh, literally "pour [on it] a poured thing" as in the only pre-Exodus use, that of Jacob's libation at a pillar in Genesis 35:14.
