early figs, unripe figs (figs in their first, green stage)
A Hebrew noun referring to early or unripe figs—fruit in its first green stage before full ripening. Song of Solomon 2:13 mentions 'its green figs' (literally 'its early figs') as a sign of spring, part of the awakening natural world that calls the beloved to arise. These early figs, appearing on the tree before the main harvest, were valued as harbingers of the fruit-bearing season and symbols of new life and fertility.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Refers to early or green figs in their first stage of development. In Song of Solomon 2:13, the appearance of early figs signals spring's arrival and the world's fertility, inviting love to flourish. These pag (early figs) precede the main harvest and represent the promise of abundance to come. Multilingual glosses (Spanish brevas, French figues vertes) identify these as the first, unripe fruits that appear as spring signs. 1×
