Strong's Lexicon milluah: Saltwort Original Word: מִלֻּאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root מָלַח (malach), meaning "to salt" or "to season." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "milluah," the concept of consuming wild plants during times of need can be related to the Greek word "χόρτος" (G5528), meaning "grass" or "herbage," which is used in the New Testament to describe the grass of the field (e.g., Matthew 6:30). Usage: The term "milluah" refers to a type of plant known as saltwort, which is mentioned in the context of food scarcity. It is a plant that grows in salty or alkaline soils and was used as a food source during times of famine or hardship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, saltwort was considered a wild plant that could be consumed when more desirable food sources were unavailable. It reflects the harsh realities of life in a land that could be subject to drought and famine. The use of such plants underscores the resourcefulness required to survive in the ancient Near East.
