It is used in the Bible to symbolize the consequences of sin and the curse upon the ground following the fall of man. The presence of thorns and thistles represents the hardship and toil that humanity must endure as a result of disobedience to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, thorns and thistles were common in arid and semi-arid regions. They were often seen as nuisances to agriculture, making the cultivation of crops more difficult. In a biblical context, these plants are emblematic of the struggle against a cursed creation, reflecting the broader theme of humanity's fallen state and the need for redemption.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1865.htm">deror</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>thistles<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>thistle (1), thistles (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">דַּרְדַּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>thistles</b></font> (collective) (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb020501.gif">, still current in Palestine, Löw<sup>p. 100</sup>;
