lily, lotus
1. lily, lotus A lily or lily-like flower (probably including the lotus), used both literally of botanical specimens and figuratively as a term of beauty and endearment. Appears describing architectural ornamentation on Solomon's temple pillars and sea (1 Kgs 7:19, 22, 26; 2 Chr 4:5), as a Psalm superscription term (Ps 45:1, 69:1), and prominently in Song of Songs as a metaphor for the beloved and pastoral imagery (Song 2:1-2, 4:5, 5:13, 6:2-3, 7:2). Multilingual glosses converge on 'lily/lirio/lis/Lilie' across all contexts, with Hindi using both kamal (lotus) and kumudini (water lily). The Hosea 14:5 simile 'like the lily' extends the botanical image to Israel's future flourishing. 15×
