Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shayit," the concept of thorns is present in the New Testament, such as in the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:7, Mark 4:7, Luke 8:7) where thorns choke the seed, representing the cares of the world. Usage: The Hebrew word "shayit" refers to thorns or briers, often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe desolation, judgment, or obstacles. It conveys the idea of something that is wild, untamed, and potentially harmful, often symbolizing the consequences of sin or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, thorns and briers were common in the landscape, especially in neglected or desolate areas. They were often seen as a curse or a sign of land that was not cultivated or cared for. In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, thorns represented the opposite of fruitful and productive land, symbolizing barrenness and desolation. This imagery was powerful in conveying messages of judgment and the need for repentance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from shut Definition a rowing NASB Translation oars (1).
