Strong's Lexicon atad: Bramble, thornbush Original Word: אָטָד Word Origin: Likely derived from an unused root meaning to pierce or to be sharp. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "atad" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term for a type of plant not commonly referenced in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "atad" refers to a type of thorny shrub or bramble. In the biblical context, it is often used metaphorically to represent something that is undesirable or of low value, especially in contrast to more noble plants like the vine or olive tree. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the landscape was dotted with various types of vegetation, including thornbushes like the atad. These plants were common in the wilderness and uncultivated areas. The atad, being a thorny plant, was often associated with desolation and barrenness. In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, thornbushes were typically seen as obstacles to cultivation and growth.
