Strong's Lexicon anéthon: Dill Original Word: ἄνηθον Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word for dill, a common herb. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7101 (קֶצַח, qetsach): While not a direct equivalent, this Hebrew term refers to a spice or herb, often identified as black cumin, which shares a similar context of being a minor agricultural product subject to tithing. Usage: The term "anéthon" refers to the dill plant, an herb known for its aromatic seeds and leaves. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to illustrate the meticulous attention to minor details of the law while neglecting more important matters. Cultural and Historical Background: Dill was a common herb in the ancient Mediterranean world, used for both culinary and medicinal purposes. It was valued for its flavor and was often used in cooking and as a seasoning. In Jewish tradition, dill was subject to tithing laws, as were other herbs and produce. This reflects the broader cultural practice of tithing agricultural produce as an act of religious devotion and obedience to the Mosaic Law.
