In all of our preaching and teaching the good news about the rich provision the Lord [[Jesus]] makes for the soul should have the principal place. Other things that accompany this message may be prophecy, history, personal experience, godly living. [[Certainly]] there are many such truths to be found in all good teaching and preaching, but these are not to replace the Gospel of GOD's grace. </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> ).
