Strong's Lexicon tomer: Palm tree, palm branch Original Word: תֹּמֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַר (tamar), which means "to be erect" or "to stand tall." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5404: φοινιξ (phoinix) - Refers to a palm tree or palm branch, used in the New Testament, such as in John 12:13. Usage: The Hebrew word "tomer" refers to a palm tree or a palm branch. In the Bible, palm trees are often symbols of beauty, uprightness, and victory. The palm tree's ability to grow straight and tall in arid environments makes it a powerful symbol of resilience and steadfastness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, palm trees were significant both economically and symbolically. They provided food (dates), materials for construction, and shade in the desert. Culturally, palm branches were used in celebrations and religious ceremonies, such as the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). The palm tree's imagery is also associated with righteousness and flourishing, as seen in Psalm 92:12, "The righteous will flourish like a palm tree."
