Strong's Lexicon qomets: Handful Original Word: קֹמֶץ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: qomets Pronunciation: koh-mets Phonetic Spelling: (ko'mets) Definition: Handful Meaning: a grasp, handful Word Origin: Derived from the root קָמַץ (qamats), meaning "to grasp" or "to take a handful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "qomets" in the Septuagint or New Testament, as the concept of a grain offering is specific to the Hebrew sacrificial system. However, related concepts of offering and sacrifice can be found in Greek terms such as θυσία (thysia - sacrifice) and προσφορά (prosphora - offering). Usage: The term "qomets" refers to a "handful," specifically in the context of a portion of grain or flour that is taken by grasping with the hand. It is often used in the context of offerings, particularly in the Levitical sacrificial system, where a priest would take a handful of flour as part of a grain offering. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the sacrificial system was central to religious life, and offerings were a means of worship and atonement. The grain offering, or "minchah," was a voluntary act of worship, expressing devotion and thanksgiving to God. The "qomets" was a symbolic portion that represented the whole offering, signifying the worshiper's dedication and the priest's role in mediating between the people and God.
