Tendrils, shoots, or spreading branches of a vine
This term describes the extending shoots or tendrils of a grapevine—the parts that spread and climb. Isaiah uses it in judgment imagery: God will 'remove the tendrils' of the vineyard representing a nation. Jeremiah quotes this imagery when commanding the destroyers to 'remove her tendrils'—stripping away the spreading growth. Jeremiah 48 uses it metaphorically for Moab's former prosperity: 'your tendrils crossed the sea,' depicting extensive influence. The term emphasizes the vine's reaching, expanding quality—growth that extends territory or influence.
