Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for קֶצַח, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context and does not have a direct equivalent in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term קֶצַח appears in the context of agricultural practices and is mentioned in the Bible in relation to the sowing and harvesting of crops. Context: The Hebrew word קֶצַח (qetsach) refers to the fennelflower, a plant whose seeds are used as a spice. This term is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Isaiah. In Isaiah 28:25, the prophet uses the imagery of agricultural practices to convey spiritual truths, mentioning the sowing of קֶצַח alongside other crops. The passage highlights the wisdom and orderliness of God's creation, as well as the understanding given to farmers in their work. The fennelflower is noted for its distinct small black seeds, which are harvested and used for their aromatic and flavorful qualities. The reference to קֶצַח in Isaiah underscores the diversity and richness of the agricultural landscape in ancient Israel, as well as the meticulous care involved in farming practices. Isaiah 28:25 (BSB): "When he has leveled its surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cumin? Does he not plant wheat in rows, barley in plots, and spelt as their border?" The mention of קֶצַח in this context serves as a metaphor for the precision and intentionality of divine instruction, paralleling the careful planning and execution required in agriculture. The passage illustrates the broader theme of divine wisdom imparted to humanity, enabling them to discern and apply knowledge in various aspects of life.
