In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with water-rich environments, as these trees typically grow near streams or rivers. The willow is noted for its flexible branches and its ability to thrive in moist soil.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the willow tree held both practical and symbolic significance. It was used in the construction of booths during the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), as described in Leviticus 23:40. The willow's presence in the landscape was a sign of water and fertility, essential for an agrarian society. Its branches were also used in various religious and cultural ceremonies, symbolizing joy and celebration.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6850.htm">tsaphaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps willow<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>willow (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">צַפְצָפָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> a kind of <font size="+1"><b>willow</b></font> (? onomatopoetic, from <em>rustling</em>; Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb086105.gif">); — <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/17-5.htm">Ezekiel 17:5</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>willow tree <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6687.htm">tsuwph</a>; a willow (as growing in overflowed places) -- willow tree. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6687.htm">tsuwph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>צַפְצָפָ֖ה צפצפה ṣap̄·ṣā·p̄āh ṣap̄ṣāp̄āh tzaftzaFah<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezekiel/17-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezekiel 17:5</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/17.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֔ים <b> צַפְצָפָ֖ה </b> שָׂמֽוֹ׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezekiel/17.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> waters; he set <span class="itali">it [like] a willow.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/ezekiel/17.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> [and] set <span class="itali">it [as] a willow tree.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/17-5.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> waters abundant <span class="itali">it a willow</span> set<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6851.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6851.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6851<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/tzaftzafah_6851.htm">ṣap̄·ṣā·p̄āh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6850.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6850"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6850" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6852.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6852"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6852" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
