Strong's Lexicon sariq: Vine, Red Vine Original Word: שְׂרִיקָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂרַק (saraq), which means "to hiss" or "to whistle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "sariq," the concept of the vine is present in the New Testament, such as in John 15:1-5, where Jesus refers to Himself as the "true vine." Usage: The term "sariq" refers to a specific type of vine, often associated with a red or choice vine. It is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe Israel as a vine planted by God, intended to produce good fruit but often failing to do so. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, vineyards were a significant part of the agricultural landscape and economy. The vine was a symbol of prosperity and blessing, often representing the nation of Israel itself. The imagery of a vine was used by prophets to convey messages about Israel's faithfulness or lack thereof to God. The cultivation of vineyards required careful attention and was a common metaphor for God's care and expectations for His people.
