However, the concept of plants and their uses can be found in various Greek terms related to agriculture and botany.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "paqquoth" refers to gourds, specifically the wild variety. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe a type of plant that bears fruit resembling gourds. These are typically associated with the wild, untamed growths found in nature.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, gourds were a common plant, often used for their practical purposes such as containers or utensils once dried. However, wild gourds were sometimes considered inedible or even poisonous, which is reflected in their biblical usage. The agrarian society of ancient Israel would have been familiar with the various types of plants and their uses, including the potential dangers of consuming wild varieties without proper knowledge.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6497.htm">peqaim</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>gourds<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gourds (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַּקֻּעֹת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine] plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>gourds</b></font> (<em>wild cucumbers, citrullus colocynthis</em>, with purgative properties, according to Post<sup>Hastings DB ii. 250</sup> De<sup>Ri HWB 278 f.</sup> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">κολοκυνθις</font>;
