Strong's Lexicon qamah: Standing grain, stalks Original Word: קָמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קוּם (qum), meaning "to rise" or "to stand." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qamah," related concepts of grain and harvest can be found in Greek terms such as σῖτος (sitos, G4621) for grain and θερισμός (therismos, G2326) for harvest. Usage: The term "qamah" refers to standing grain, typically in the context of a field ready for harvest. It is used to describe the stalks of grain that are upright and mature, indicating readiness for reaping. This term is often associated with agricultural practices in ancient Israel, where grain was a staple crop and a symbol of sustenance and divine provision. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was central to daily life and the economy. Grain, particularly wheat and barley, was a primary food source. The imagery of standing grain was significant in biblical texts, symbolizing abundance, blessing, and the cycle of life and provision from God. Harvest time was a period of joy and thanksgiving, as it represented God's faithfulness in providing for His people. The process of harvesting was labor-intensive and involved cutting the stalks, gathering them into sheaves, and threshing to separate the grain from the chaff.
