Strong's Lexicon tappuach: Apple Original Word: תַּפוּחַ Word Origin: From the root נָפַח (naphach), meaning "to breathe" or "to blow," possibly referring to the fragrance or the round shape of the fruit. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tappuach" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, the concept of fruit and trees is often represented by words such as καρπός (karpos, G2590) for "fruit" and δένδρον (dendron, G1186) for "tree." Usage: The Hebrew word "tappuach" is commonly translated as "apple" in English. It is used in the Bible to refer to a fruit-bearing tree and its fruit, often symbolizing beauty, love, and sustenance. The apple is frequently associated with pleasant fragrance and sweetness, making it a symbol of desirability and delight. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the apple was a valued fruit, known for its sweet taste and aromatic scent. While the exact species of the "tappuach" mentioned in the Bible is debated, it is often thought to refer to a fruit similar to the modern apple or possibly a type of apricot or quince. The apple tree was a common feature in the landscape of the ancient Near East, and its fruit was enjoyed both fresh and dried.
