Strong's Lexicon Batsluth: Onion Original Word: בַּצְלוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root בצל (batsal), meaning "onion" or "bulb." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Batsluth" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context of the Old Testament. Usage: The term "Batsluth" refers to onions, a common vegetable in the ancient Near East. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe one of the foods the Israelites remembered from their time in Egypt, highlighting their longing for the variety of foods they had while in bondage. Cultural and Historical Background: Onions were a staple in the diet of ancient Egyptians and were highly valued for their flavor and nutritional benefits. They were often consumed raw or cooked and were considered a symbol of eternity due to their circular layers. The Israelites' mention of onions in the wilderness reflects their nostalgia for the familiar and abundant food of Egypt, contrasting with the manna provided by God.
