- G726: ἄρσην (arsen) - male, often used metaphorically for strength or prominence, similar to the imagery of a strong branch.

Usage: The Hebrew word "noph" refers to a branch or bough of a tree. It is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the spreading or flourishing of something, often in a positive sense. The imagery of a branch is frequently employed to convey ideas of growth, prosperity, and the extension of influence or blessing.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, trees and their branches were significant symbols in both daily life and religious practice.
