Strong's Lexicon yoneqeth: Shoot, branch, sprout Original Word: יוֹנֶקֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root יָנַק (yanaq), meaning "to suck" or "to nurse." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1008: βλαστός (blastós) - meaning "shoot" or "sprout." - Strong's Greek 2814: κλάδος (kládos) - meaning "branch" or "twig." Usage: The term "yoneqeth" refers to a young shoot or sprout, often used metaphorically to describe new growth or vitality. In the context of the Bible, it can symbolize renewal, hope, and the continuation of life. It is often used in prophetic literature to convey the idea of new beginnings or the emergence of something significant from humble origins. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of life, and the imagery of plants, trees, and growth was commonly used to convey spiritual truths. A "yoneqeth" would be a familiar sight in vineyards and fields, representing the potential for future harvests. This imagery would resonate with an agrarian society that understood the importance of nurturing young plants to ensure a fruitful yield.
