Strong's Lexicon qiddah: Cassia Original Word: קִדָּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to shrivel or contract Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of fragrant spices and anointing oils can be related to Greek terms such as μύρον (myron, Strong's 3464), which means ointment or perfume. Usage: The term "qiddah" refers to cassia, a spice derived from the bark of a tree, similar to cinnamon. In the Bible, it is used as an ingredient in sacred anointing oil and is associated with fragrance and holiness. Cultural and Historical Background: Cassia was a valuable spice in the ancient Near East, often imported from distant lands. It was used in perfumery, medicine, and as a flavoring agent. In biblical times, cassia was considered a luxury item and was part of the trade networks that connected Israel with other cultures. Its inclusion in the sacred anointing oil underscores its significance and value. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom the same as qodqod Definition cassia NASB Translation cassia (2).
