Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "psichion," the concept of small portions or remnants can be related to words like "שְׁאֵרִית" (she'erit, Strong's H7611), meaning remnant or remainder. Usage: The term "psichion" refers to a small piece or fragment, often used to describe crumbs or tiny morsels of food. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to illustrate humility, faith, and the provision of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman cultures, bread was a staple food, and crumbs were the small pieces that fell from the table during meals. These crumbs were often eaten by pets or given to the poor. The imagery of crumbs was familiar to Jesus' audience, symbolizing the smallest portion of sustenance or blessing.
