RAISINS (tsimmûqîm, Num_6:3 [EV [Note: English Version.] ‘dried grapes’], 1Sa_25:18; 1Sa_30:12, 2Sa_16:1, 1Ch_12:40; ’ãsh îshîm, 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.
