Strong's Lexicon soleth: Fine flour Original Word: סֹלֶת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to strip or to crush Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "soleth," the concept of fine flour can be related to the Greek word "ἄλευρον" (aleuron), which also means flour. Usage: The Hebrew word "soleth" refers to fine flour, which is a finely ground wheat product. In the context of the Old Testament, it is often associated with offerings and sacrifices, particularly in the context of grain offerings. Fine flour was considered a valuable commodity and was used in various religious and domestic settings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fine flour was a staple ingredient in daily life and religious practices. It was used in the preparation of bread and other baked goods. In the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah, fine flour was a key component of grain offerings, which were presented to God as a symbol of devotion and thanksgiving. The process of making fine flour involved grinding wheat into a very fine consistency, which required effort and care, symbolizing the dedication and purity expected in offerings to God.
