<p> <strong> GARLIC </strong> ( Numbers 11:5 ). The familiar <em> Allium sativum </em> , still a very great favourite in Palestine, especially with the Jews. Originally a product of Central Asia, and once a delicacy of kings, it is only in the East that it retains its place in the affections of all classes. </p> <p> E. W. G. Masterman. </p> | |||

<p> [[Garlic]] occurs only once in Scripture, and that in the passage in which the [[Israelites]] are described as murmuring, among other things, for the leeks, the onions, and the garlic (shumim) of Egypt. There can be no doubt of its being correctly so translated, as the corresponding Arabic word still signifies a species of garlic, which is cultivated and esteemed throughout [[Eastern]] countries. [[Ancient]] authors mention that garlic was cultivated in [[Egypt]] and highly esteemed there. [[Herodotus]] enumerates it as one of the substances upon which a large sum (1600 talents) was spent for feeding laborers employed in building the Pyramids. The species considered to have been thus cultivated in Egypt, is Allium Ascalonicum, which is the most common in Eastern countries, and obtains its specific name from having been brought into [[Europe]] from Ascalon. It is now usually known in the kitchen garden by the name of 'eschalot' or 'shallot,' and is too common to require a fuller notice. </p> | |||

<p> (שׁוּם , shum, so called from its odor; Sept. σκόροδον,Vulg. allium, A.V. "garlick") occurs only once in Scripture, and that in the plural, Numbers 11:5; where the [[Israelites]] are described as murmuring, among other things, for the leeks, the onions, and the garlic of Egypt. There can be no doubt of its being correctly so translated, as the same Arabic word (thum) still signifies a species of garlic which is cultivated and esteemed throughout [[Eastern]] countries .(Celsii Hiesrobot. 2:53). Ancient. authors mention that garlic was cultivated in [[Egypt]] (Pliny, 19:32). [[Herodotus]] (2:125) enumerates it as one of the subnstances upon which a large sum (1600 talents) was spent for feeding laborers employed is building the Pyramids, although Hasselquist expresses a doubt whether it was cultivated in that country (Trav. page 562). The species considered to have been thus referred to is Allium Ascalonicum, which is the most common in Eastern countries, and obtains its specific name from having been brought into [[Europe]] from [[Ascalon]] (see Jac. de Vitriaco, in the Gest. Frasncor. 3:1142). It is now usually known in the kitchen garden by the name of "eschalot" or "shallot." Its ranker congener is the common garlic (Allium sativunm). See the [[Penny]] Cyclopaedia, s.v. Allisum. Rosellini, however, thinks he has discovered it upon a painting in Beni Hassan. The [[Talmudists]] frequently mention the use of this plant among the Jews, and their fondness of it (Kilaim, 1:3; 6:10; Mdaser. 5:8; Terusn. 7:7; Nedar. 8:6, etc.). It formed a favorite viand with the common people among the [[Greeks]] and Romans (Pliny, 20:23; Plautus, Mostell. 1, 1:38; Horace, Ephesians 3:3; Suetonius, Vesp. 8). (See [[Botany]]). </p> | |||
