Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2814 (klados): A branch or shoot, often used in the New Testament to describe the relationship between Christ and His followers (e.g., John 15:5). Usage: The term "netser" refers to a branch or shoot, often symbolizing new growth or a descendant. In the biblical context, it is used metaphorically to represent a future hope or a new beginning, particularly in relation to the Davidic line and the coming of the Messiah. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the imagery of a branch or shoot was a powerful symbol of life, renewal, and continuity.

The concept of a "branch" also held messianic significance, as it was associated with prophecies concerning the restoration of the Davidic kingdom and the coming of a righteous ruler.
