Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be exalted.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent for the Hebrew רִמּוֹן is not directly listed in Strong's Concordance, as the Greek New Testament does not specifically mention pomegranates. However, the concept of fruitfulness and abundance can be related to Greek terms such as καρπός (karpos • Strong's Greek 2590), meaning "fruit."

Usage: The term רִמּוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the pomegranate tree and its fruit. It is often mentioned in contexts related to the beauty and abundance of the land, as well as in descriptions of ornamental designs.

Context: • The pomegranate (רִמּוֹן) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree in the family Lythraceae. It is native to the region extending from Iran to northern India and has been cultivated throughout the Mediterranean region since ancient times.
• In the Bible, the pomegranate is frequently mentioned as a symbol of fertility and abundance. It is one of the seven species listed in Deuteronomy 8:8, which describes the richness of the Promised Land: "a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey."
• The pomegranate also appears in the design of the priestly garments. Exodus 28:33-34 describes the hem of the high priest's robe adorned with pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, alternating with gold bells: "Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn around the lower hem, with gold bells between them."
• Additionally, the pomegranate motif is found in the temple's architecture. In 1 Kings 7:18, the capitals on top of the pillars in Solomon's temple were decorated with pomegranates: "He made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates encircled each network to decorate the capitals on top of the pillars."
• The pomegranate's numerous seeds have made it a symbol of fruitfulness and prosperity in various cultures, including the biblical context.
