Strong's Lexicon thuinos: Made of citron wood, fragrant wood Original Word: θυΐνος Word Origin: Derived from θύον (thuon), which refers to a type of fragrant tree, often identified as the citrus or citron tree. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "thuinos," as it refers specifically to a type of wood not commonly mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the concept of valuable and fragrant woods can be related to Hebrew terms like אֲרָזִים (erezim, "cedars") and בְּרוֹשִׁים (beroshim, "cypresses"), which were also considered valuable. Usage: The term "thuinos" is used to describe something made from or related to the citron tree, known for its aromatic wood. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe luxurious and valuable items, emphasizing their opulence and desirability. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, citron wood was highly prized for its fragrance and beauty. It was often used in the construction of fine furniture and decorative items. The wood's rarity and the skill required to work with it made it a symbol of wealth and status. In Roman times, citron wood was imported from North Africa and the Middle East, and it was considered a luxury item.
