Strong's Lexicon qali: Roasted grain, parched grain Original Word: קָלִי Word Origin: Derived from the root קָלָה (qalah), meaning "to roast" or "to parch." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qali," the concept of roasted or parched grain can be related to terms describing food preparation and sustenance, such as "σιτομετρία" (sitometria) for food measurement or provision. Usage: The term "qali" refers to grain that has been roasted or parched, a common method of preparing grain in ancient times. This process involved heating the grain to make it edible and preserve it for longer periods. In the context of the Bible, "qali" is often associated with sustenance and provision, particularly during times of harvest or when fresh grain was not available. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, roasted grain was a staple food, especially during the harvest season. It was a convenient and nutritious food that could be easily prepared and consumed. The process of parching grain was a practical way to ensure that the grain could be stored and used throughout the year. This method of preparation was common in the agrarian society of ancient Israel, where grain was a primary food source.
