It is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe Israel as a nation that was planted and nurtured by God to produce good fruit, symbolizing righteousness and justice.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, vineyards were a significant part of the agricultural landscape and economy. The cultivation of vines and the production of wine were common, and the imagery of a vineyard was often used in biblical literature to convey spiritual truths. A "soreq" vine would have been considered valuable due to its superior quality, making it a fitting metaphor for God's chosen people.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">שֹׂרֵק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> choice species of <font size="+1"><b>vine</b></font>; — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׂ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/5-2.htm">Isaiah 5:2</a>, <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׂוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/2-21.htm">Jeremiah 2:21</a> (both in figure). <p> <font class="hebrew2">שׂרֵקָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>choice vine</b></font>; — <a href="/interlinear/genesis/49-11.htm">Genesis 49:11</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>choicest, noble wine <p>Or sowreq {so-rake'}; and (feminine) soreqah {so- ray-kaw'}; from <a href="/hebrew/8319.htm">sharaq</a> in the sense of redness (compare <a href="/hebrew/8320.htm">saruq</a>); a vine stock (properly, one yielding purple grapes, the richest variety) -- choice(-st, noble) wine.
