Strong's Lexicon geres: Grain, ground grain, meal Original Word: גֶּרֶשׂ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to crush Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of ground grain or meal in the Greek New Testament can be related to terms like "ἄλευρον" (aleuron - G224) meaning flour, though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence with "geres." Usage: The Hebrew word "geres" refers to grain that has been crushed or ground into meal. It is typically used in the context of food preparation, particularly in the making of offerings or bread. The term emphasizes the process of grinding, which transforms whole grain into a usable form for consumption or ritual use. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, grain was a staple food and a significant part of the diet. The process of grinding grain into meal was a daily task, often performed by women using a hand mill. This ground grain was used to make bread, which was a central element of meals and also played a crucial role in religious offerings. The act of grinding grain into meal symbolized preparation and transformation, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites.
