Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Minnith, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical location without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: The term "Minnith" appears in the context of a geographical location known for its wheat production. It is mentioned in the context of trade and commerce.

Context: Minnith is referenced in the Old Testament as a location east of the Jordan River. It is mentioned in the book of Judges in the context of Jephthah's battle against the Ammonites. The town is noted for its wheat, which was traded with the Tyrians, indicating its agricultural significance. The specific biblical reference is found in Judges 11:33, where it is described as part of the territory conquered by Jephthah: "He struck them down from Aroer to the vicinity of Minnith—twenty cities in all—and as far as Abel-keramim. So the Ammonites were subdued before the Israelites." (BSB)

The exact location of Minnith is not definitively known, but it is traditionally associated with the region of Ammon, possibly near modern-day Amman, Jordan. Its mention alongside Abel-keramim suggests it was part of a fertile area conducive to agriculture, particularly wheat cultivation. The historical and economic significance of Minnith is underscored by its inclusion in trade routes, as noted in Ezekiel 27:17, where it is implied that Minnith's wheat was a valuable commodity.
