Easton's Bible Dictionary
Of a tree. The olive-leaf mentioned
Genesis 8:11. The barren fig-tree had nothing but leaves (
Matthew 21:19;
Mark 11:13). The oak-leaf is mentioned Isaiah 1:30; 6:13. There are numerous allusions to leaves, their flourishing, their decay, and their restoration (
Leviticus 26:36;
Isaiah 34:4;
Jeremiah 8:13;
Dan. 4:12, 14, 21;
Mark 11:13;
13:28). The fresh leaf is a symbol of prosperity (
Psalm 1:3;
Jeremiah 17:8;
Ezek. 47:12); the faded, of decay (
Job 13:25;
Isaiah 1:30;
64:6;
Jeremiah 8:13).
Leaf of a door (1 Kings 6:34), the valve of a folding door.
Leaf of a book (Jeremiah 36:23), perhaps a fold of a roll.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
LEAF; LEAVESlef, levz: Used in three different senses, with reference:
(1) To trees (`aleh, "a coming up"), Genesis 3:7; Genesis 8:11 Leviticus 26:36 (Tereph); Ezekiel 17:9; phullon. Figuratively
(a) of spiritual blessings (Ezekiel 47:12; compare Revelation 22:2) and prosperity (Psalm 1:3);
(b) of moral decay (Isaiah 64:6), and
(c) of a formal, empty profession (Matthew 21:19).
(2) To a book (deleth), Jeremiah 36:23 (margin "columns"; see 36:2); as the parchment was gradually unfolded the successive columns could be read.
(3) To doors (tsela`, "side," qela`,"a screen," "hanging"), 1 Kings 6:34. The door of the Holy Place consisted of two halves, but each half had two leaves (compare Ezekiel 41:24).
