Berean Strong's Lexicon timorah: Palm tree, column, pillar Original Word: תִּמֹרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַר (tamar), meaning "to be erect" or "to stand tall," often associated with palm trees. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "timorah," the Greek word "φοῖνιξ" (phoinix, Strong's G5404) is used in the New Testament to refer to palm trees, as seen in John 12:13, where people took palm branches to greet Jesus. Usage: The Hebrew word "timorah" primarily refers to a palm tree, known for its tall, slender trunk and lush, spreading fronds. In biblical literature, it can also metaphorically describe structures resembling the form of a palm tree, such as columns or pillars. The palm tree is often a symbol of beauty, uprightness, and victory. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the palm tree was a significant symbol due to its economic and aesthetic value. It provided food (dates), materials (leaves for weaving), and shade in arid environments. The palm tree's ability to thrive in desert conditions made it a symbol of resilience and life. In the Bible, palm trees are often associated with prosperity and peace, as seen in the construction of Solomon's Temple, where palm motifs were used as decorative elements.
