Crumb:

krum (psichion, "a little bit"): Occurs only in the New Testament, of remnants of food, scraps. Lazarus desired "to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table" (Lu 16:21). "Even the (little) dogs eat of the crumbs" (Mt 15:27; Mr 7:28), "possibly the fragments of bread on which the guests wiped their hands (after thrusting them into the common dish), and flung to the dogs" (Farrar, Life of Christ, I, 476).

"a small morsel," a diminutive of psix, "a bit, or crumb;" of bread or meat, it is used in Mat 15:27; Mar 7:28; some mss. have it in Luk 16:21.
