Strong's Lexicon Seorim: Barley Original Word: שְׂעֹרִים Word Origin: Derived from the root שְׂעֹרָה (se'orah), meaning "barley." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for barley is κριθή (krithē), Strong's Greek #2915. Usage: The term "Seorim" refers to barley, a cereal grain that was a staple food in ancient Israel. It is often mentioned in the context of offerings, agriculture, and trade. Barley was one of the first grains cultivated in the Near East and was commonly used for making bread and porridge. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, barley was a significant crop due to its adaptability to various climates and its relatively short growing season. It was considered a staple food for the poor and was often used as animal fodder. Barley was also integral to the religious and economic life of Israel, being used in offerings and as a measure of wealth. The barley harvest marked the beginning of the agricultural year, and the Feast of Firstfruits was celebrated with the offering of the first sheaf of barley.
