Strong's Lexicon zemorah: Branch, Vine shoot Original Word: זְמוֹרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root זָמַר (zamar), which means "to prune" or "to trim." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "zemorah," the concept of branches and vines is echoed in the New Testament, particularly in John 15:5, where Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches." Usage: The term "zemorah" refers to a branch or a vine shoot, particularly in the context of viticulture. It is used to describe the young, tender branches of a vine that are often pruned to encourage healthy growth and fruit production. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, viticulture was a significant agricultural practice. Vineyards were common, and the process of pruning was essential for maintaining the health and productivity of the vines. The imagery of vines and branches is frequently used in the Bible to convey spiritual truths, symbolizing growth, fruitfulness, and the relationship between God and His people.
