Young shoots or tender sprouts, used metaphorically in Ezekiel for Israel as a cedar
This rare feminine plural form appears only in Ezekiel's allegory of the great cedar (17:4), where Israel is depicted as a tree whose tender shoots are plucked. The cross-linguistic evidence shows Romance languages favoring 'young shoot' or 'sprout' terminology, while the imagery evokes botanical vulnerability and potential growth. The metaphor captures both Israel's fragility and her promise.
