Strong's Lexicon neta: Plant, shoot, or sapling Original Word: נֶטַע Word Origin: Derived from the root נָטַע (nata), which means "to plant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5453 (phuteuō) - to plant - G5454 (phuton) - a plant Usage: The Hebrew word "neta" refers to a young plant, shoot, or sapling. It is often used in the context of agriculture and horticulture, symbolizing growth, new beginnings, and potential. In the biblical narrative, "neta" can also metaphorically represent the people of Israel or the righteous, who are planted by God to grow and flourish under His care. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The imagery of planting and growth was deeply embedded in the culture, often used to convey spiritual truths. The land of Israel was seen as a gift from God, and the act of planting was both a practical necessity and a spiritual metaphor for God's provision and blessing. The concept of planting also carried connotations of stability and permanence, as a well-planted tree or vine could provide sustenance for generations.
