Leek Field
The Hebrew word seems to refer to what is “green,” and is often translated “grass”; twice it is rendered “hay” and once “herb,” but the leek is very likely referred to in Numbers 11:5. The Israelites, longed for such as they had eaten in Egypt. The Allium porrum has long been a favorite in the East. Dr. Kitto preferred the Trigonella foerum graecum, a grass similar to clover.
