Definition: probably the plant Cuminum cyminum; same family as carrot; branches from the base and has similar leaves and flowers, though seeds have a sharper smell; planted and harvested each year, reaching a height of about 50-60 cm; seeds are used in cooking and as medicine

Notes: In designating ‘cumin’ as well as ἄνηθον ‘dill,’ πήγανον ‘rue,’ and ἡδύοσμον ‘mint,’ it is probably wise to borrow a term and use a classifier, for example, ‘a seasoning herb called cumin.’

OET-RV MAT 23:23

23 “You religious teachers and Farisaios are hypocrites and will have a bad end, because you give a tenth of your herbs, but you ignore the weightier parts of God’s commands, like justice, mercy, and faith. It’s good to tithe, but those other things should also be observed, and not left out.

OET-LV MAT 23:23

23 Woe to _you _all, scribes and Farisaios_party, hypocrites.
Because you _all _are _tithing the mint and the dill and the cummin, and you _all _left the heavier of _the law:
the justice and the mercy and the faith.
But it _was _fitting to _do these things, and _those not to _leave.
