Relevant Hebrew words include זַיִת (zayit, Strong's H2132) for "olive tree."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "agrielaios" refers to a wild olive tree, which is distinct from a cultivated olive tree. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe Gentiles who are grafted into the spiritual blessings of Israel, the cultivated olive tree.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Mediterranean agriculture, olive trees were a significant source of oil and food. Cultivated olive trees were carefully tended to produce abundant fruit, while wild olive trees were less productive and often grew untamed. The imagery of grafting branches from a wild olive tree into a cultivated one would have been familiar to Paul's audience, illustrating the inclusion of Gentiles into the covenant blessings originally given to Israel.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>65</b> <i>agriélaios</i> (from <a href="/greek/66.htm">66</a> <i>/ágrios</i>, "wild, uncultivated" and <a href="/greek/1636.htm">1636</a> <i>/elaía</i>, "olive tree") – properly, a wild (uncultivated) olive tree. </p><p class="discovery">[The <i>Jews</i> are the <i>natural</i>, <i>cultivated</i> branches in Scripture; believing NT <i>Gentiles</i> are represented as the <i>wild</i>, <i>uncultivated</i> branches.]</p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/65.htm">65</a> <i>/agriélaios</i> ("wild olive") occurs twice in the NT (Ro 11:17,24) – both times of "the <i>nations</i>" (believing <i>Gentiles</i>) as <i>now</i> part of the <i>one people of God</i>.
