Branch, bough; the limb of a tree or vine, used literally and in prophetic imagery of growth and judgment
This noun refers to a branch or bough of a tree, used both in everyday agricultural instruction and in rich prophetic symbolism. Leviticus 23:40 prescribes taking branches of thick trees for the Feast of Booths. Ezekiel employs the word powerfully in his allegory of the cedar (Ezek 17:23) and the vine (Ezek 17:8), and in the promise that Israel's branches will again bear fruit (Ezek 36:8). Malachi's final chapter warns that the coming day will leave the wicked neither root nor branch (Mal 3:19).
Senses
1. branch, bough — A branch or bough of a tree or vine, used both concretely and figuratively. In literal usage, Leviticus 23:40 prescribes gathering leafy branches for Sukkot. Prophetically, Ezekiel uses it in his vine and cedar allegories: the transplanted vine sending out branches (Ezek 17:8), the majestic cedar sheltering nations (Ezek 17:23; 31:3), and the promise of renewed fruitfulness for Israel's mountains (Ezek 36:8). Malachi's image of neither root nor branch remaining (Mal 3:19) represents total destruction. Spanish 'rama' and French 'branche' directly mirror the concrete botanical sense. 7×
