Strong's Lexicon chartsannim: Grape seeds, kernels Original Word: חַרְצַן Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַץ (charats), meaning "to sharpen" or "to decide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "chartsannim" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to viticulture. However, the concept of grape processing and wine is present in the Greek New Testament, such as in the parables of Jesus (e.g., Matthew 9:17). Usage: The term "chartsannim" refers specifically to the seeds or kernels of grapes. It is used in the context of describing the remnants or byproducts of grape processing, particularly in the making of wine. The word is often associated with the idea of completeness or thoroughness, as in the complete consumption or use of the grape. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, grapes were a significant agricultural product, and viticulture was a common practice. Grapes were used for eating, drying into raisins, and most importantly, for making wine, which was a staple beverage. The process of winemaking involved treading grapes in a winepress, and the seeds (chartsannim) would be left behind after the juice was extracted. The presence of chartsannim in biblical texts often symbolizes abundance and the thoroughness of God's provision.
