An herb of the carrot family (Cuminum cyminum L.) mentioned with dill. Used in Bible times to season foods. Isaiah portrayed the planting and threshing of cummin ( Isaiah 28:25 ,Isaiah 28:25,28:27 ). Jesus faulted the Pharisees for giving attention to small things like tithing mint, dill, and cummin while ignoring the weightier matters of the law (Matthew 23:23; see Luke 11:42 ).
