Cummin
Holman Bible Dictionary
An herb of the carrot family (Cuminum cyminum L.) mentioned with dill. Used in Bible times to season foods. Isaiah portrayed the planting and threshing of cummin ( Isaiah 28:25 ,Isaiah 28:25,28:27 ). Jesus faulted the Pharisees for giving attention to small things like tithing mint, dill, and cummin while ignoring the weightier matters of the law (Matthew 23:23; see Luke 11:42 ).
