Strong's Lexicon qilleshon: Fork, pitchfork Original Word: קִלְּשׁוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be forked or to split. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "qilleshon," the concept of agricultural tools can be related to Greek terms like "δρέπανον" (drepanon, meaning sickle) used in the New Testament, such as in Revelation 14:14-19, where harvesting imagery is employed. Usage: The term "qilleshon" refers to a fork or pitchfork, a tool with two or more prongs used for lifting and pitching hay, grain, or other materials. In the biblical context, it is often associated with agricultural practices, particularly in the handling of grain or offerings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. Tools like the qilleshon were essential for tasks such as winnowing grain or handling sacrifices. The use of a fork in religious rituals, particularly in the handling of offerings, underscores the agrarian context of Israelite worship and the practical aspects of maintaining the temple and its services.
