Strong's Lexicon qomets: Handful Original Word: קֹמֶץ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: qomets Pronunciation: koh-mets Phonetic Spelling: (ko'mets) Definition: a grasp, handful Meaning: A grasp, handful. Word Origin: Derived from the root קָמַץ (qamats), which means "to grasp" or "to take a handful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for קֹמֶץ (qōmets) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of a handful in the context of Levitical offerings is specific to the Hebrew sacrificial system. However, related concepts of offering and sacrifice can be found in Greek terms such as θυσία (thysia • Strong's Greek 2378), which means "sacrifice" or "offering." Usage: The term קֹמֶץ (qōmets) is used in the context of taking a handful, particularly in reference to the portion of a grain offering that is taken by the priest as a memorial portion to be burned on the altar. Context: The Hebrew word קֹמֶץ (qōmets) appears in the context of the Levitical offerings, specifically in the book of Leviticus. It refers to the act of the priest taking a handful of the fine flour mixed with oil and all the frankincense from the grain offering. This handful is then burned on the altar as a memorial portion, symbolizing the offering of the whole to God. The act of taking a קֹמֶץ (qōmets) is a significant ritual action, representing the dedication and sanctification of the offering. The remainder of the grain offering, after the קֹמֶץ (qōmets) is taken, is given to Aaron and his sons as their portion. This practice underscores the importance of the priestly role in mediating between the people and God, as well as the concept of offering a portion to God as a sign of devotion and thanksgiving. In Leviticus 2:2 (BSB), it is written: "He shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests, and the priest shall take a handful of the fine flour and oil, together with all its frankincense, and burn this memorial portion on the altar as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD."
