Strong's Lexicon Lush: To knead Original Word: לוּשׁ Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Luwsh Pronunciation: loosh Phonetic Spelling: (loosh) Definition: To knead Meaning: Lush Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew לוּשׁ, the concept of kneading is related to ζυμόω (zymoō - Strong's Greek 2220), which means "to leaven" or "to ferment," as both involve the preparation of dough. Usage: The Hebrew verb לוּשׁ (Lush) primarily means "to knead," referring to the process of working dough with the hands to prepare it for baking. This term is used in the context of making bread, a staple food in ancient Israelite culture. The act of kneading is often associated with preparation and provision, as bread was a daily necessity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, bread was a central part of the diet, and the process of making bread was a daily task, typically performed by women. Kneading dough was an essential step in bread-making, involving mixing flour and water, and sometimes yeast, to create a pliable dough. This process was labor-intensive and required skill to ensure the dough was properly prepared for baking. Bread-making was not only a domestic chore but also held religious significance, as unleavened bread was used in various religious observances, including Passover.
