Thorns are frequently mentioned in the context of agricultural imagery, symbolizing the consequences of sin and the curse upon the ground after the Fall of Man (Genesis 3:18).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, thorns were a common feature of the landscape, often growing in arid and semi-arid regions. They were considered a nuisance to farmers and shepherds, as they could damage crops and injure livestock. Thorns also had symbolic significance in biblical literature, representing obstacles, suffering, and divine judgment. The imagery of thorns would have been familiar to the original audience of the biblical texts, who lived in an agrarian society.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6791.htm">tsen</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a thorn, prick<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>thorns (2).<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">צָנִין</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>thorn, prick</b></font>;
