Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the Greek word "ῥόα" (rhoa) in the Septuagint is used for pomegranate.

Usage: The Hebrew word "rimmon" primarily refers to the pomegranate fruit, a symbol of abundance, fertility, and blessing in the Bible. It is often associated with beauty and prosperity due to its rich color and numerous seeds. The pomegranate is mentioned in various contexts, including descriptions of the Promised Land, priestly garments, and temple decorations.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the pomegranate was a significant agricultural product and a common motif in art and architecture. It was valued not only for its nutritional benefits but also for its symbolic meanings. The fruit's many seeds made it a symbol of fruitfulness and prosperity. Pomegranates were also used in religious rituals and were depicted on the hem of the high priest's robe, alternating with golden bells (Exodus 28:33-34).
