Strong's Lexicon desmé: Bundle, sheaf Original Word: δεσμή Word Origin: From the root δέω (deo), meaning "to bind" or "to tie." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent is אֲלֻמָּה (alummah), Strong's Hebrew 485, which also means "sheaf" or "bundle." Usage: The term "desmé" refers to a bundle or collection of items, often used in the context of agriculture to describe a sheaf of grain. In biblical usage, it can symbolize unity or gathering, as well as the fruits of labor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, harvesting grain was a significant event. After reaping, the grain was gathered into sheaves or bundles, which were then transported for threshing. This process was labor-intensive and required community effort, reflecting the communal nature of ancient agricultural life. The imagery of sheaves is often used in the Bible to convey themes of harvest, provision, and divine blessing.
