Strong's Lexicon tappuach: Apple Original Word: תַּפוּחַ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tappuwach Pronunciation: tap-poo'-akh Phonetic Spelling: (tap-poo'-akh) Definition: an apple, the fruit, the tree Meaning: An apple, referring both to the fruit and the tree that bears it. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָפַח (naphach), meaning "to breathe" or "to blow," possibly referring to the fragrance or the round shape of the fruit. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent for תַּפוּחַ in the Strong's Greek Concordance. However, the concept of fruit and trees is prevalent in the New Testament, often using the Greek word καρπός (karpos, Strong's Greek 2590) for fruit in general. Usage: The term תַּפוּחַ appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the apple tree or its fruit. It is often associated with beauty, fragrance, and delight. Context: • The word תַּפוּחַ is used in several passages in the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing beauty and desirability. In Song of Solomon 2:3, the beloved is compared to an apple tree among the trees of the forest, highlighting the tree's attractiveness and the delight it provides: "Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my beloved among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste." • In Song of Solomon 7:8, the imagery of the apple tree is used to describe the beloved's physical allure: "I said, 'I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.' May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples." • Proverbs 25:11 uses the apple metaphorically to describe the value of well-spoken words: "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver." • The apple tree is also mentioned in Joel 1:12, where its withering is a sign of desolation and lamentation: "The vine has dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, palm, and apple tree—all the trees of the orchard—are withered. Surely the joy of mankind has withered away." The apple tree, therefore, serves as a symbol of beauty, pleasure, and the richness of life, while its absence or withering signifies loss and sorrow.
