Berean Strong's Lexicon sukomorea: Sycamore-fig tree Original Word: συκομορέα Word Origin: From σύκον (sukon, meaning "fig") and μορέα (morea, meaning "mulberry tree") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8256 (שִׁקְמָה, shiqmah): Refers to the sycamore tree in the Old Testament, such as in Amos 7:14. Usage: The term "sukomorea" refers to a type of fig tree known as the sycamore-fig tree. It is distinct from the common fig tree and is known for its large size and low branches, which make it easy to climb. In the New Testament, it is mentioned in the context of the account of Zacchaeus, who climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus as He passed by. Cultural and Historical Background: The sycamore-fig tree was common in the region of Palestine and Egypt. It was valued for its fruit, which was a staple food for the poor, and its wood, which was used in construction. The tree's significance in the biblical narrative is often tied to its accessibility and the way it provided a vantage point for Zacchaeus, symbolizing the accessibility of Jesus to those who seek Him.
