Strong's Lexicon Qots: Thorn, brier Original Word: קוֹץ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to prick Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G173: ἄκανθα (akantha) - thorn - G4647: σκόλοψ (skolops) - thorn, stake Usage: The Hebrew word "qots" refers to thorns or briers, which are often used metaphorically in the Bible to represent obstacles, difficulties, or the consequences of sin. Thorns are frequently associated with desolation and barrenness, symbolizing the curse of the ground after the Fall of Man (Genesis 3:18). Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, thorns and briers were common in the arid and semi-arid regions. They were often seen as a nuisance to farmers and shepherds, as they could damage crops and harm livestock. The presence of thorns was a reminder of the curse pronounced upon the earth due to Adam's sin, serving as a symbol of the fallen state of creation. In a spiritual sense, thorns represented the challenges and trials that believers would face in a world marred by sin. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom the same as qots Definition two Isr.
