Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entry for שׁוּם (shum) as garlic is not specifically mentioned in the Greek New Testament. However, the concept of food and dietary references can be found in various Greek entries related to food and sustenance. Usage: The term שׁוּם (shum) is used in the context of describing garlic, a plant known for its culinary and medicinal properties. It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' diet during their time in Egypt. Context: The Hebrew word שׁוּם (shum) appears in the Old Testament in the context of the Israelites' longing for the foods they enjoyed in Egypt. Specifically, it is mentioned in Numbers 11:5, where the Israelites express their craving for the variety of foods they had in Egypt, including garlic. This reference highlights the Israelites' dissatisfaction with the manna provided to them in the wilderness and their desire to return to the familiar and flavorful foods of their past. Garlic, known for its pungent aroma and taste, was a staple in the Egyptian diet and is noted for its health benefits, which may have contributed to the Israelites' longing for it. The mention of garlic, along with other foods, underscores the Israelites' struggle with contentment and trust in God's provision during their journey to the Promised Land.
