Planting, plantation, or place of planting; used figuratively of God's people as his cherished planting
A masculine noun denoting a planting, plantation, or the act and place of planting, found exclusively in prophetic literature. Its most memorable use is the metaphor of God's people as 'the planting of the LORD' (Isa 60:21; 61:3), where the image conveys divine care, purposeful cultivation, and hoped-for fruitfulness. Ezekiel employs it for literal agricultural imagery of vine transplantation (Ezek 17:7; 31:4) and a promised 'planting of renown' (Ezek 34:29). Micah 1:6 uses it concretely for vineyard plantings amid a ruined city.
Senses
1. planting, plantation — A planting, plantation, or place of planting, used in prophetic contexts both literally and figuratively. Literally it denotes vineyard planting sites (Mic 1:6) and cultivated beds (Ezek 17:7; 31:4). Figuratively, Isaiah applies it to God's people as 'the shoot of his planting' and 'the planting of the LORD' (Isa 60:21; 61:3), expressing divine ownership, care, and the expectation of righteousness as fruit. Ezekiel 34:29 promises a 'planting of renown,' combining agricultural imagery with covenantal hope. Spanish 'plantaciones' and English 'planting' both preserve the horticultural metaphor. 7×
