However, concepts related to height or summit in Greek might be expressed with terms like ἄκρον (akron, G206), which means "top" or "summit." Usage: The term אָמִיר is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the summit or topmost part of a tree, highlighting its prominence or height. Context: The Hebrew word אָמִיר (Amir) appears in the context of describing the uppermost parts of trees, symbolizing height and prominence. This term is used metaphorically to convey the idea of reaching the pinnacle or the highest point, often in a natural setting. In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is used in Isaiah 17:6: "Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten—two or three berries at the top of the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel." Here, אָמִיר is translated as "top of the tree," emphasizing the few remaining fruits at the highest point after harvesting. This imagery is used to convey a sense of scarcity and the remnants left after judgment or calamity. The use of אָמִיר in biblical texts often serves to illustrate themes of judgment, survival, and the remnants of what once was abundant.
