Leeks
The leeks and the onions
Numbers 11:5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
The "leeks and the onions" in one way could be construed as a metaphor for the benefits of Egypt. The need for the benefits of the Pharaoh's free bread is what brought the people into the bondage of Egypt.
But the message of the Torah is hidden in the metaphors of the text. Like the symbols and allegory of the great epic poems they cry secret messages about our own mental and spiritual psychosis.[1] There are clues codified in the Hebrew letter themselves which may reveal not only the secrets of the words and surrounding verses but the secrets hidden in our own mind and souls. The cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlick goes much deeper than a hunger for produce.

The word remember is used in the since of recall. The word fish is dagah from the Hebrew letters DaletGimelHey [2] but here we see HeyDaletGimelHey which appears no where else. DeletGimel by itself can mean fish.[3]There is also the word DaletGimelVavNun which is the Dagon [4] which is an ancient Assyro-Babylonian and Canaanite deity and the national god of the Philistines which has the fish head or hat and suppose to be a god of fertility and increase or even prosperity.
the same Hebrew letters we see translated fish are also translated "grow" in Genesis.[5]
And what does it mean freely eat? Does it mean "We ate in Egypt free of charge?" How did the Egyptians give fish free of charge since they were not even giving them straw for free.[6]
Were they getting free fish or something free of charge?[7]
So what does “free of charge” mean?
Does it mean to be "Free from [the burden of] precepts."[8]
This free from precepts or principles is related to the idea that they were free "from sin".[9]
What could they do in Egypt that was not lawful to do under the Tablets of Moses?
In Egypt you could covet the benefits of Pharaoh even though he put heavy burdens on the people in order to provide those benefits.
This statement came about because they were tired of manna.
They supposedly wanted to eat meat. But they had meat because they had their flocks but they did not want to have to kill and eat their own cattle. They wanted to maintain the flocks and riches that they represented.
So eventually what was the solution for this dilemma?
While there was a conversation leading up to the solution Moses was finally told in Numbers 11:16 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. Numbers 11:17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear [it] not thyself alone."
This is actually what took place again at Pentecost when the apostles came into one accord with 120 names in the upper room and received the Holy Spirit.
Understanding the nature of the herd and flock is important in understanding the Kingdom of God and His righteouness. Each member has a life of their own but they are also a part of a whole. Individual survival means nothing unless the herd survives and unite because each member of the flock or heard must care about the other members as much as themselves. Cattle and sheep are not bound by contracts but by the herd mindset.[10]
- "Researchers at Leeds University performed a group experiments where volunteers were told to randomly walk around a large hall without talking to each other. A select few were then given more detailed instructions on where to walk. The scientists discovered that people end up blindly following one or two instructed people who appear to know where they’re going. The results of this experiments showed that it only takes 5% of confident looking and instructed people to influence the direction of the 95% of people in the crowd and the 200 volunteers did this without even realizing it."

The word we see as cucumber appears no where else in the Bible and is from an unused root word many hard.[11] The connection between cucumber and what is often called witchcraft or sorcery in Jewish and Talmudic literature[12] is uncanny. There seems to be a vast number of references to "gathering cucumbers by sorcery". What was the real connection?
What Moses meant for Israel and what Jewish traditions and interpretations became are evidently two different things. Jesus warned that if the pharisees knew Moses they would have known Him.[13] We have looked at the Sophistry of the ancient text and ponder her if this list of fruits and vegetables another clue in the Bible text and the truths it is trying to share with us?
Once you unmoor the metaphor from its meaning all sorts of stories and superstitions may arise. We saw that with the legend of the Golem and we may be seeing that with cucumbers and sorcery.
It is written in Exodus 22:18 "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." The word witch is also translated sorcerer.[14] They were to be stoned.
There are stories and repeated application of rules include the idea that if two people are collecting cucumbers in a magical way. One collects and is guilty of the sin of practicing sorcery, and one collects and is not guilty. The one who actually commits the act of producing cucumbers through sorcery is guilty, and the one who only manipulates the eyes to believe there are cucumbers is not guilty. But if sorcery is not really about making cucumbers with magical means then what is sorcery and what is stoning and what is all this about cucumbers?
The next word we see in this verse is melons which only appears once in the Bible and is also of an uncertain origin.[15] The letters of the word translated melon are AlefBeitTetYodChet.

Then the word translated leeks, chatsiyr[16] which is from the Hebrew ChetTzadikYodResh but far more often translated grass but comes from a word chatsiyr, ChetTzadikYodResh, translated court[17] and from chatser [18] commonly translated court and villages. Those villages[19] were the family genealogies enrolled[20] in a network by which governments were established. Israel did this from the bottom up through the tens, fifties and hundreds just like Jesus commanded His disciples to organize the Congregation of the people themselves.
The Hebrew letters we actually see in the text are הֶחָצִ֥יר ChetHeyTzadikYodResh.
These words seem to come from the Hebrew word chatsar, ChetTzadikResh.[21] which was the clarion call or hue and cry of the people as a nation functioning by mutual care for one another.
Followed by onions[22] which is another unused root appearing only here in the Bible. An onion is made up of layers of scabs. The scab is actually a reincarnation of a leaf repeated in numerous layers. The letter that forms the word said to mean onion is LamedTzadickBeit which could also mean, based on the Hebrew letters the "hand of the righteous house". But the word we actually see in the text is הַבְּצָלִ֖ים which is composed of the Hebrew letters MemYodTzadickBeitHey.
And then the last word is garlic from the Hebrew word shuwm [23] from the letters םושׁ ShemVavMem. The letters in the text are actually הַשּׁוּמִֽים ChetShemVavMemYodMem.
