Strong's Lexicon choter: Shoot, Branch Original Word: חֹטֵר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to branch off Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "choter," the concept of a branch or shoot is echoed in the New Testament with terms like "βλαστός" (blastos) in Mark 4:32, referring to a sprout or shoot. Usage: The term "choter" refers to a shoot or branch, often used metaphorically to describe a new growth or a descendant. In the biblical context, it symbolizes hope, renewal, and the emergence of something significant from a seemingly insignificant origin. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the imagery of a branch or shoot was deeply rooted in agricultural practices and the natural world. It conveyed the idea of life, growth, and continuity. This metaphor was particularly powerful in a culture that valued lineage and heritage, as it suggested the continuation of a family line or the rise of a new leader from humble beginnings.
