Strong's Lexicon egoz: Nut Original Word: אֲגוֹז Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be hard Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "egoz" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the specific mention of nuts like walnuts is unique to the Hebrew text. Usage: The Hebrew word "egoz" refers to a type of nut, specifically the walnut, known for its hard shell and nutritious kernel. In the biblical context, it symbolizes something valuable and nourishing, often associated with abundance and blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, nuts were a significant part of the diet and were considered a delicacy. They were often used in trade and as gifts due to their value and long shelf life. The walnut, in particular, was prized for its rich taste and nutritional benefits. The hard shell of the walnut also made it a symbol of protection and resilience. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originof uncertain derivation Definition nuts NASB Translation nut trees (1).
