Strong's Lexicon natia: Planting, shoot, or sapling Original Word: נָטִיעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root נָטַע (nata), meaning "to plant" or "to establish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is φυτεία (phuteia), which also means planting or plantation. This term is found in passages like Matthew 15:13 (BSB): "But Jesus replied, 'Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots.'" Usage: The term "natia" refers to a young plant, shoot, or sapling. It is often used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe growth, development, and the establishment of something new. The imagery of planting is frequently employed to convey ideas of nurturing, cultivation, and the potential for future growth and fruitfulness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The imagery of planting and growth was deeply embedded in the culture, symbolizing not only physical sustenance but also spiritual and communal prosperity. The act of planting was seen as an investment in the future, with the expectation of eventual harvest and abundance. This agricultural metaphor was often used by the prophets and poets of the Bible to communicate spiritual truths and divine promises.
