Strong's Lexicon zag: Husk, skin, or peel Original Word: זָג Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: zag Pronunciation: zag Phonetic Spelling: (zawg) Definition: the skin of a, grape Meaning: The skin of a grape. Word Origin: This term is derived from an unused root meaning to enclose. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew זָג in the Strong's Concordance. However, the concept of grape skins can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament that discuss wine and vineyards, such as οἶνος (oinos, Strong's Greek 3631) for wine, which is made from grapes, and ἄμπελος (ampelos, Strong's Greek 288) for vine. These terms collectively contribute to the broader biblical imagery of vineyards and wine production, which are significant in both Old and New Testament contexts. Usage: The word זָג appears in the context of describing the outer covering or skin of a grape. It is a rare term in the Hebrew Bible, specifically used to denote the grape's skin, which encloses the fruit. Context: The Hebrew word זָג (zag) is a noun masculine that refers to the skin or outer covering of a grape. This term is notably rare in the Hebrew Scriptures, appearing in a context that highlights the physical characteristics of grapes. The usage of זָג is found in the poetic and wisdom literature of the Old Testament, where it serves to illustrate the completeness and intricacy of creation. The grape skin, though seemingly insignificant, plays a crucial role in the protection and preservation of the fruit, symbolizing the care and detail inherent in God's creation. The mention of זָג in the Scriptures underscores the importance of every part of creation, no matter how small or seemingly trivial.
