However, general terms for grain or wheat in Greek, such as σῖτος (sitos), may be used in broader contexts. Usage: The term כֻּסֶּמֶת appears in the context of agricultural produce, specifically referring to spelt as a crop. It is mentioned in the context of the plagues in Egypt and in the dietary laws and provisions of the Israelites. Context: כֻּסֶּמֶת (kussemet) is a term used in the Hebrew Bible to denote spelt, a grain that was cultivated in ancient times. Spelt is a species of wheat that is known for its resilience and ability to grow in less fertile soil, making it a valuable crop in the ancient Near East. In the Bible, spelt is mentioned in Exodus 9:32 during the account of the plagues in Egypt, where it is noted that the spelt was not destroyed by the hail because it ripens later than other grains. This highlights its importance as a staple food that could withstand adverse conditions. Additionally, spelt is listed among the grains that the Israelites were permitted to eat, as seen in Ezekiel 4:9, where it is included in a recipe for bread. The inclusion of spelt in these contexts underscores its role as a significant agricultural product in biblical times.
