Berean Strong's Lexicon shathal: To plant, to transplant Original Word: שָׁתַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shathal," the concept of planting and growth is echoed in the New Testament with words like "φυτεύω" (phuteuō - Strong's Greek 5452), meaning "to plant." Usage: The Hebrew verb "shathal" primarily means "to plant" or "to transplant." It conveys the action of setting something firmly in place, often with the implication of growth and stability. This term is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the righteous who are firmly established and flourishing, akin to a tree planted by streams of water. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and survival. Planting was not only a physical activity but also carried spiritual significance. The imagery of planting and growth was often used to describe spiritual truths, reflecting the agrarian society's understanding of life, growth, and dependence on God's provision. The act of planting symbolized stability, prosperity, and blessing, as a well-planted tree would yield fruit and provide shade and sustenance.
