RAISINS (tsimmûqîm, Num_6:3 [EV [Note: English Version.] ‘dried grapes’], 1Sa_25:18; 1Sa_30:12, 2Sa_16:1, 1Ch_12:40; ’ăshîshîm, Hos_3:1 RV [Note: Revised Version.] , etc.; see Flagon).—Raisins are now, as of old, prepared in great quantities in the Holy Land; the bunches are dipped in a strong solution of potash before being dried. Es-Salt, across the Jordan, has long been famous for the excellence of its stoneless raisins.

rā?z'nz: (1) צמּוּקים, cimmūḳı̄m; σταφίδες, staphı́des, 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) אשׁישׁה, 'ăshı̄shāh, something ?pressed together,? hence, a ?cake.? In Hos_3:1, mention is made of ענבים אשׁישׁי, 'ăshı̄shē ‛ănābhı̄m (πέμματα μετὰ σταφίδος, pémmata metá staphı́dos), ?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 'ăshĕrı̄m and ḥammānı̄m (?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-Ṣalṭ, East of the Jordan. The bunches of grapes are dipped in a strong solution of potash before being dried.
