Raisins
raz’nz: (1) , cimmukm; , staphdes, translated dried grapes, Num 6:3; mentioned in all other references as a portable food for a march or journey. Abigail supplied David with a hundred clusters of raisins, among other things, in the wilderness of Paran (1Sa 25:18); David gave two clusters of raisins to a starving Egyptian slave of the Amalekites at Besor (1Sa 30:12); raisins formed part of the provision brought to David at Hebron for his army (1Ch 12:40); Ziba supplied David, when flying from Absalom, with a hundred clusters of raisins (2Sa 16:1). (2) , ‘ashshah, something pressed together, hence, a cake. In Hos 3:1, mention is made of , ‘ashshe anabhm ( , pemmata meta staphdos), cakes of raisins: Yahweh loveth the children of Israel, though they turn unto other gods, and love (margin or them that love) cakes of raisins. These are supposed to have been cakes of dried, compressed grapes offered to false gods. Gratz considers that the Hebrew words are a corruption of ‘asherm and hammanm (sun images). Compare Isa 17:8; Isa 27:9. In other passages cakes stands alone without raisins, but the translation cakes of raisins is given in 2Sa 6:19; 1Ch 16:3; Son 2:5 (the King James Version flagons); Isa 16:7 margin foundations.
Raisins are today, as of old, prepared in considerable quantities in Palestine, especially at es-Salt, East of the Jordan. The bunches of grapes are dipped in a strong solution of potash before being dried.
