Berean Strong's Lexicon gebinah: Cheese Original Word: גְּבִינָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַן (gaban), which means "to be curved" or "to be rounded." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "gebinah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as cheese is not specifically mentioned in the New Testament. However, the concept of food and provision can be related to Greek terms such as τροφή (trophe, G5160) meaning "food" or "nourishment." Usage: The term "gebinah" refers to cheese, a dairy product made from the curdled milk of animals such as cows, goats, or sheep. In the biblical context, cheese was a common food item, valued for its nutritional content and ease of storage. It is mentioned in the context of hospitality and provision. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cheese was a staple food, often made by curdling milk with natural rennet or acidic substances. It was a practical way to preserve milk, especially in a pastoral society where livestock was abundant. Cheese-making was a skill passed down through generations, and it played a role in the diet of both the wealthy and the poor. Cheese was often consumed with bread and wine, forming a simple yet nourishing meal. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom the same as gibben Definition curd, cheese NASB Translation cheese (1).
