Strong's Lexicon Eshkol: Eshkol Original Word: אֶשְׁכֹּל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֶשְׁכֹּל (eshkol), meaning "cluster" or "bunch," often used in the context of grapes. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper name Eshkol, but the concept of a "cluster" can be related to Greek words like σταφυλή (staphulē), meaning "grape" or "cluster." Usage: In the Bible, Eshkol is primarily used as a proper name. It refers to a person and a geographical location. As a person, Eshkol is one of the Amorite allies of Abram (later Abraham) in Genesis. As a place, the Valley of Eshkol is noted for its abundance of grapes, which the Israelite spies brought back as evidence of the land's fertility. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Eshkol is associated with abundance and fertility, particularly in the context of viticulture. In ancient Near Eastern culture, grapes and wine were significant agricultural products, symbolizing prosperity and blessing. The Valley of Eshkol, located near Hebron, was renowned for its lush vineyards, making it a symbol of the Promised Land's richness.
