Strong's Lexicon kannah: Stalk, Branch Original Word: כַּנָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּנָה (kanah), which means "to be firm" or "to stand upright." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is κλάδος (klados), which also means branch or shoot. This term appears in the New Testament, such as in John 15:5 (BSB), where Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches." Usage: The term "kannah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a stalk or branch, often in the context of plants or trees. It signifies something that is upright and firm, providing support or structure. This word can be used both literally, to describe the physical parts of a plant, and metaphorically, to symbolize strength or stability. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life, and the imagery of plants and trees was commonly used in the Hebrew Scriptures. The stalk or branch of a plant was not only a vital part of its structure but also a symbol of life and growth. In a broader cultural context, the imagery of a branch could also represent lineage or descent, as seen in the metaphorical use of "branch" to describe the descendants of a family or nation.
