Coriander. The plant called Coriandrum sativum is found in Egypt, Persia and India, and has a round tall stalk; it bears umbelliferous white or reddish flowers, from which arise globular, grayish, spicy seed-corns, marked with fine striae. It is mentioned twice in the Bible. Exo_16:31; Num_11:7.

נר , Exo_16:31; Num_11:7; a strongly aromatic plant. It bears a small round seed, of a very agreeable smell and taste. The manna might be compared to the coriander seed in respect to its form or shape, as it was to bdellium in its colour. See MANNA.
Biblical and Theological Dictionary by Richard Watson
PRINTER 1849.


kor-i-an?dẽr (גּד, gadh; κόριον, kórion): The fruit of the Coriandrum Sativum (Natural Order Umbelliferae), a plant indigenous around the Mediterranean and extensively cultivated. The fruits are aromatic and stomatic-carminative. They are of a grayish-yellow color, ribbed, ovate-globular and in size about twice that of a hemp-seed. ?The manna was like coriander seed? (Num_11:7; see also Exo_16:31.

Fig. 135?Coriandrum sativum
Coriander occurs in two places in Scripture, viz. Exo_16:31, 'And it (manna) was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made of honey;' Num_11:7, 'And the manna was as coriander seed, and the color thereof as the color of bdellium.' The coriander is known throughout Arabia, Persia, and India, in all of which it is cultivated, being universally employed as a grateful spice, and as one of the ingredients of curie-powder. It is also common in Egypt. It is now very common in the south of Europe, and also in this country, being cultivated, especially in Essex, on account of its seeds, which are required by confectioners, druggists, and distillers, in large quantities: in gardens it is reared on account of its leaves, which are used in soups and salads. The coriander is an umbelliferous plant, the Coriandrum sativum of botanists. The fruit, commonly called seeds, is globular, grayish-colored, about the size of peppercorn, having its surface marked with fine stria. Both its taste and smell are agreeable, depending on the presence of a volatile oil, which is separated by distillation.

Coriander
(גָּד, from the root גָּדִד to make an incision, referring to the furrows in the seed). The Syriac, Chaldee, and Arabic, with the Sept. and Vulg., render this word coriander (Gesenius, Thesaur. Heb. p. 264), as does our version in Exo_16:13; Num_11:7, the only passages where it occurs, and in both which the appearance of manna is compared to that of its seeds as to form, and in the former passage as to color also. SEE MANNA. According to Dioscorides also (3, 64) the ancient Carthaginian name for coriander was goid (γοίδ), evidently kindred with the Hebrew gad. Celsius states (Hierob. 2:78 sq.) that the coriander is frequently mentioned in the Talmud (where it is called כִּסְבִּר, kasbars, or כּוּסְבָר, kusebar'). It was known to and used medicinally by Hippocrates: it is mentioned by Theophrastus, as well as Dioscorides, under the name of κόριον or κορίαννον; and the Arabs, in their works on Materia Medica, give korion as the Greek synonym of coriander, which they call kuzecreh, the Persians kishneez, and the natives of India (compare Pliny, 20:82) dhunya. It is known throughout all these countries, in all of which it is cultivated, being universally employed as a grateful spice, and as one of the ingredients of currie-powder (see Busching, Wochentl. Nachr. 1775, p. 42; Rauwolff, Reise, p. 94; Gmelin, Reise durch Russl. 3, 282). It is also found in Egypt (Prosp. Alpin. Res. AEg. 2:9, p. 156). It is now very common in the south of Europe, and also in England, being cultivated, especially in Essex, on account of its seeds, which are required by confectioners, druggists, and distillers in large quantities; in gardens it is reared on account of its leaves, which are used in soups and salads (see Pereira's Materia Medica). The coriander is the Coriandrum sativum of botanists, an umbelliferous plant, with a round tall stalk. The flowers are small and pale pink, the leaves are much divided (especially the upper ones) and smooth. The fruit, commonly called seeds, is globular, grayish-colored, about the size of peppercorn, having its surface marked with fine strime. Both its taste and smell are agreeable, depending on the presence of a volatile oil, which is separated by distillation(see Penny Cyclopaedia, s.v.). SEE BOTANY.
