In the biblical context, it is often associated with agricultural practices, particularly in the handling of grain or offerings.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. Tools like the qilleshon were essential for tasks such as winnowing grain or handling sacrifices. The use of a fork in religious rituals, particularly in the handling of offerings, underscores the agrarian context of Israelite worship and the practical aspects of maintaining the temple and its services.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps fine point<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>forks* (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">קִלְּשׁוֺן</font> doubtful word, in phrase <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">וְלִשְׁלשׁ ק</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/13-21.htm">1 Samuel 13:21</a> (possibly would be <em>fine point</em>, compare Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">קלשׁ</font> <em>be thin</em>, hence <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ק</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׁ</font> <em>tridens</em>, E.V. <em>forks</em>, but against analogue, see especially Dr). </p><p><font class="hebrew2">קָמָה</font> see <font class="hebrew2">קום</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>fork <p>From an unused root meaning to prick; a prong, i.e. Hay-fork -- fork. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>קִלְּשׁ֖וֹן קלשון killeShon qil·lə·šō·wn qilləšōwn<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/1_samuel/13-21.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Samuel 13:21</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/13.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְלָ֣אֵתִ֔ים וְלִשְׁלֹ֥שׁ <b> קִלְּשׁ֖וֹן </b> וּלְהַקַּרְדֻּמִּ֑ים וּלְהַצִּ֖יב</span><br><a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/13-21.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the mattocks three <span class="itali">fork</span> and the axes fix<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7053.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7053.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7053<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/killeshon_7053.htm">qil·lə·šō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/7052.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7052"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7052" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7054.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7054"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7054" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
