Strong's Lexicon tippuchim: Apples Original Word: טִפֻּח Word Origin: Derived from the root טָפַח (taphach), meaning "to spread" or "to plaster." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tippuchim," the concept of apples or similar fruits can be related to the Greek word μήλον (mēlon), which also means apple or fruit. Usage: The term "tippuchim" refers to apples or apple-like fruits. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is often associated with beauty, fragrance, and delight. The word is used metaphorically to convey pleasantness and desirability. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, apples were considered a symbol of love and beauty. The climate of the region was suitable for growing various fruits, including those that were similar to modern apples. The apple tree, with its fragrant blossoms and sweet fruit, was often used in poetry and literature to evoke images of love and abundance. In the Song of Solomon, apples are used to describe the beauty and allure of the beloved, reflecting the cultural appreciation for this fruit.
