Strong's Lexicon sarig: Branch, tendril, twig Original Word: שָׂרִיג Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂרַג (sarag), meaning "to intertwine" or "to weave." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of branches or tendrils is κλῆμα (klēma), Strong's Greek 2814, which is used in the New Testament, particularly in John 15:5, where Jesus refers to Himself as the vine and His followers as the branches. Usage: The Hebrew word "sarig" refers to a branch or tendril, often used in the context of a vine. It signifies the smaller, more delicate offshoots of a plant, particularly those that are intertwined or woven together. In the biblical context, it is used metaphorically to describe growth, connection, and the spreading of influence or lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life, and the imagery of vines and branches was commonly understood. Vines were a symbol of prosperity and blessing, often associated with the nation of Israel itself. The intertwining nature of tendrils and branches symbolized unity and the interconnectedness of the community or family lineage. The vine was also a significant symbol in religious rituals and offerings. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom sarag Definition tendril, twig NASB Translation branches (3).
