LEEKS , The Heb. word châtsîr , which is elsewhere tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘grass’ or ‘herb,’ is rendered ‘leeks’ in Numbers 11:5 , and in this passage, owing to the association with onions and garlic, the tr. [Note: translate or translation.] is probably correct, leeks being the herb par excellence . The leek ( Allium porrum ) is much grown in Palestine, where it is a general favourite.
