Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "dochan" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term for a type of grain. However, the concept of grains and bread is prevalent in both the Old and New Testaments, with Greek terms such as σῖτος (sitos, G4621) for grain and ἄρτος (artos, G740) for bread. Usage: The term "dochan" refers to a type of grain, specifically millet, which is a small-seeded grass that is cultivated as a cereal crop. In the Bible, it is mentioned as one of the ingredients used in making bread during times of scarcity or famine. Cultural and Historical Background: Millet has been a staple food in various cultures due to its adaptability to arid climates and poor soils.
