Berean Strong's Lexicon nub: To flourish, to sprout, to bear fruit Original Word: נוּב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "nub," the concept of flourishing or bearing fruit is captured in the New Testament by words such as "καρποφορέω" (karpophoreo - Strong's G2592), meaning to bear fruit. Usage: The Hebrew verb "nub" primarily conveys the idea of flourishing or producing fruit. It is often used metaphorically to describe prosperity, growth, or the manifestation of positive outcomes. In the context of agriculture, it refers to the natural process of plants sprouting and bearing fruit, symbolizing abundance and blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The imagery of plants flourishing and bearing fruit was a powerful symbol of divine blessing and prosperity. The Israelites understood their dependence on God's provision for successful harvests, and the concept of "nub" would resonate deeply as a sign of God's favor and faithfulness.
