Strong's Lexicon allon: Oak, Terebinth Original Word: אַלּוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be strong or mighty. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "allon," the concept of trees as significant landmarks or symbols can be seen in Greek words like δένδρον (dendron, Strong's G1186) meaning "tree." Usage: The Hebrew word "allon" refers to a type of large, strong tree, commonly translated as "oak" or sometimes "terebinth" in English. These trees are often associated with strength and endurance due to their size and longevity. In the biblical context, they are frequently mentioned as landmarks or significant locations for events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, oak trees were significant both ecologically and culturally. They provided shade and were often used as meeting places or landmarks. The strength and durability of the oak made it a symbol of resilience and stability. In some instances, these trees were also associated with religious or cultic practices, serving as sites for altars or memorials.
