chit.tah is the cereal crop seen in fields, harvests, food stores, offerings, tribute, and images of abundance.

The term denotes a cereal crop and its produce, whether standing or harvested: it is sown and reaped in fields, measured for tribute and contribution, prepared as food or an offering, and used to portray provision or loss.

Senses in use

  1. Cereal crop and its harvested produce · dominant

    The plural form occurs in harvest and field settings: in 1 Samuel 6:13 the APB renders people reaping a harvest in the valley, and in Isaiah 28:25 it renders the crop being set in rows. The same noun also names produce supplied or used as food: 2 Samuel 17:28 lists it among provisions, 2 Chronicles 27:5 measures it as tribute, and Exodus 29:2 places it in the preparation of unleavened bread.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB usually presents the term as “wheat,” including harvest, food, trade, and measured-produce contexts; Exodus 29:2 has “fine wheat flour.” These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than establish a separate lexical distinction.
