Strong's Lexicon psómion: Morsel, piece of bread Original Word: ψωμίον Word Origin: Diminutive of ψωμός (psōmos), meaning a morsel or a small piece of bread. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "psómion," the concept of a morsel or piece of bread can be related to Hebrew terms like "פת" (pat), meaning a piece or fragment, often used in the context of bread. Usage: The term "psómion" refers to a small piece or morsel of bread. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a piece of bread that is dipped and given as a sign of friendship or identification. It carries the connotation of a small, humble portion, often associated with sharing a meal. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman culture, sharing a meal was a significant act of fellowship and trust. Dipping a morsel of bread and offering it to someone was a gesture of honor and intimacy. This practice is seen in the context of the Last Supper, where Jesus uses a morsel to identify Judas Iscariot as His betrayer, highlighting the deep betrayal of a trusted companion.
