<p> <b> | <p> <b> CUMMIN. </b> —Cummin (or cumin) is the seed of the <i> Cuminum cyminum </i> , an annual herbaceous umbellifer. It has a slender, branching stem, and grows to the height of a foot. The seeds, which are ovoid in form, are strongly aromatic, and have a flavour not unlike that of caraway, but more pungent. [[Cummin]] was used by the [[Jews]] as a condiment, and also for flavouring bread. It has carminative and other medicinal properties, and was employed not only as a remedy for colic, but also to stanch excessive bleeding, and to allay swellings. It is indigenous to Upper Egypt and the [[Mediterranean]] countries, but it was also cultivated from early times in Western Asia, India, and China. </p> <p> Cummin is mentioned twice in the Bible ( Isaiah 28:25-27 בַּסֹן, and Matthew 23:23 κύμινον). In the latter passage Jesus rebukes the Pharisees, because they paid tithe of mint, and anise, and , and omitted the weightier matters of the Law. </p> <p> Literature.— <i> Encyc. Brit. s.v. </i> ; Tristram, <i> Nat. Hist. of the Bible </i> . </p> <p> Hugh Duncan. </p> | ||

<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> CUMMIN </strong> . The seed of an umbelliferous plant, the <em> Cuminum cyminum (syriacum) </em> , widely cultivated in and around Palestine. It is used to flavour dishes, and, more particularly, bread; in flavour and appearance it resembles carraway; it has long been credited with medicinal properties; it certainly is a carminative. It is even now beaten out with rods ( Isaiah 28:27 ). [[Tithes]] of cummin were paid by the Jews ( Matthew 23:23 ). </p> <p> E. W. G. Masterman. </p> | ||

<p> '''''kum´in''''' ( כּמּן , <i> '''''kammōn''''' </i> ; κύμινον , <i> '''''kúminon''''' </i> ): The seed of the herb <i> Cuminum cyminum </i> (Natural Order <i> Umbelliferae </i> ). It has carminative properties and is used for flavoring various dishes, especially during fasts. In flavor and appearance it resembles caraway, though it is less agreeable to western palates. As an illustration of Yahweh's wisdom it is said ( Isaiah 28:25 , Isaiah 28:27 ) that cummin is scattered in sowing and beaten out with a rod in threshing. These facts are true in [[Palestine]] today. The Jews paid tithes of cummin ( Matthew 23:23 ). </p> | <p> ''''' kum´in ''''' ( כּמּן , <i> ''''' kammōn ''''' </i> ; κύμινον , <i> ''''' kúminon ''''' </i> ): The seed of the herb <i> Cuminum cyminum </i> (Natural Order <i> Umbelliferae </i> ).
