Strong's Lexicon teenah: Fig, Fig Tree Original Word: תְּאֵן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to stretch out or spread Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4808: συκῆ (sykē) - fig tree - G4810: σῦκον (sykon) - fig Usage: The Hebrew word "teenah" refers to the fig tree or its fruit, the fig. In the Bible, figs are often mentioned as a symbol of prosperity, peace, and divine blessing. The fig tree is one of the first plants mentioned in the Bible, and its fruit is associated with abundance and sustenance. Figs were a staple in the diet of ancient Israelites and were often dried and stored for later use. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the fig tree was a common and important fruit-bearing tree. It was valued not only for its fruit but also for its shade. The fig tree's large leaves and spreading branches provided shelter from the sun. Figs were eaten fresh or dried and were a significant part of the diet. The fig tree is also one of the seven species listed in Deuteronomy 8:8, highlighting its importance in the land of Israel. The tree's ability to produce fruit multiple times a year made it a symbol of fertility and blessing.
