Strong's Lexicon alummah: Sheaf Original Word: אֲלֻמָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָלַם (alam), meaning "to bind" or "to tie." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "alummah," the concept of a sheaf can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament for harvest and grain, such as σῖτος (sitos) for grain or wheat. Usage: The term "alummah" refers to a bundle or collection of cut stalks of grain, typically wheat or barley, that are bound together after harvesting. In the agricultural context of ancient Israel, sheaves were a common sight during the harvest season, representing the gathered produce of the fields. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The process of harvesting involved cutting the grain, gathering it into sheaves, and then transporting it to a threshing floor for further processing. Sheaves were not only a symbol of agricultural abundance but also played a role in religious practices, such as the offering of the firstfruits. The imagery of sheaves is often used in the Bible to convey themes of provision, blessing, and sometimes prophetic visions.
