Cumin. Cuminum cyminum. כמן kammōn - Strongs: H3646; κύμινον, kuminon - Strongs: G2951.
From Easton: Cummin - (Heb. kammon; i.e., a "condiment"), the fruit or Seed of an umbelliferous plant, the Cuminum sativum, still extensively cultivated in the East. Its fruit is mentioned in Isaiah 28:25, Isaiah 28:27. In the New Testament it is mentioned in Matthew 23:23, where our Lord pronounces a "woe" on the scribes and Pharisees, who were zealous in paying tithes of "mint and anise and cummin," while they omitted the weightier matters of the law." "It is used as a spice, both bruised, to mix with bread, and also boiled, in the various messes and stews which compose an Oriental banquet." Tristram, Natural History.
