'Cut' in the Bible

Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites;

And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it upon a staff between two; they brought also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
