Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to curdle or thicken.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew word חֶמְאָה. However, the concept of dairy products, such as milk and cheese, can be found in the Greek New Testament, though not directly linked to a specific Strong's Greek number. Usage: The term חֶמְאָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to dairy products, specifically those that are curdled or thickened, such as butter or cheese. Context: The Hebrew word חֶמְאָה (chemah) appears in several passages of the Old Testament, often in contexts that highlight the abundance and richness of the land or the hospitality of its people. In Genesis 18:8, Abraham offers curdled milk along with other foods to his divine visitors, illustrating the custom of hospitality and the use of dairy products in ancient diets: "Then Abraham brought curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set them before the men." Similarly, in Deuteronomy 32:14, the richness of the Promised Land is described with reference to dairy products: "with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of Bashan and goats, with the finest kernels of wheat—and you drank the foaming blood of the grape." The use of חֶמְאָה in these contexts underscores the significance of dairy in the diet and economy of ancient Israel, symbolizing prosperity and divine blessing.
