Usage: The term צַמּוּק is used in the context of describing a type of food, specifically a cake made from dried grapes, which was a common provision in ancient times. Context: The Hebrew word צַמּוּק (tsammûq) refers to a cake of dried grapes, a form of preserved fruit that was commonly used in the ancient Near East. This food item was practical for long journeys and as a staple in times of scarcity due to its long shelf life and nutritional value. In the biblical context, cakes of dried grapes are mentioned as part of the provisions given to David and his men. In 1 Samuel 25:18, Abigail made haste to provide David with two hundred cakes of dried grapes among other supplies, demonstrating the importance and value of such provisions. The use of dried grapes in this form highlights the agricultural practices of the time, where preservation of food was essential for survival and sustenance.
