Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "kussemeth" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as spelt is primarily a term used in the Hebrew context of the Old Testament. Usage: The term "kussemeth" refers to spelt, a type of ancient grain that is closely related to wheat. In the Bible, it is mentioned as one of the grains used for making bread and as part of the staple diet in ancient Israel. Spelt is known for its hardiness and ability to grow in less fertile soil, making it a valuable crop in the ancient Near East. Cultural and Historical Background: Spelt was a significant crop in the ancient world, particularly in the Near East and Mediterranean regions. It was valued for its nutritional content and versatility in cooking. In biblical times, spelt was often used alongside other grains like wheat and barley. Its resilience to harsh growing conditions made it a reliable food source for ancient communities.
