It is also used metaphorically to describe architectural ornaments resembling the lily and is associated with the shape of a trumpet.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2918: κρίνων (krinon) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to lilies, maintaining the symbolic connection to beauty and purity found in the Hebrew "shushan." • G4677: σάλπιγξ (salpinx) • This Greek word for trumpet reflects the metaphorical use of "shushan" in describing the shape and function of musical instruments, linking the visual and auditory elements of worship and celebration. Usage: The word "shushan" appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing beauty and purity. It is used to describe the decorative elements in the construction of the Temple and other sacred spaces. Additionally, it is metaphorically linked to musical instruments, specifically trumpets, due to its shape. Context: The Hebrew term "shushan" is frequently associated with the lily, a flower that holds significant symbolic meaning in biblical literature. In the Song of Solomon, the lily is emblematic of beauty and love, as seen in passages like Song of Solomon 2:1, "I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valley." The lily's association with purity and divine beauty is further emphasized in its use as an architectural motif in the construction of Solomon's Temple. In 1 Kings 7:19, the capitals on top of the pillars in the Temple are described as being "in the shape of lilies," highlighting the aesthetic and spiritual significance of this flower. The term also extends to musical instruments, where the shape of the lily is likened to that of a trumpet, suggesting a connection between the visual beauty of the flower and the auditory beauty of music. This multifaceted use of "shushan" underscores its importance in conveying themes of beauty, purity, and divine artistry throughout the biblical text.
