It is also used as a proper name for several women in the Old Testament, each with significant narratives that contribute to the biblical story.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the palm tree was a symbol of prosperity and victory, often associated with oases and places of rest. The palm's ability to thrive in desert conditions made it a powerful symbol of resilience and life. The name Tamar, therefore, carried connotations of beauty and strength. In biblical narratives, women named Tamar often play pivotal roles, reflecting the cultural importance of names and their meanings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/8560.htm">tomer</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>palm tree, date palm<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>date palms (1), palm (3), palm tree (3), palm trees (4), palms (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">תָּמָר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>palm-tree, date-palm</b></font>, <em>Phoenix dactylifera</em>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ת</font> <a href="/interlinear/joel/1-12.htm">Joel 1:12</a>; in simile of prosperity <a href="/interlinear/psalms/92-13.htm">Psalm 92:13</a>, of (graceful) stature Cant 7:8, compare (figurative) <a href="/interlinear/songs/7-9.htm">Songs 7:9</a>; plural <font class="hebrew2">תְּמָרִים</font> in oasis <a href="/interlinear/exodus/15-27.htm">Exodus 15:27</a> (J), "" <a href="/interlinear/numbers/33-9.htm">Numbers 33:9</a> (P); <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">כַּמֹּת ת</font> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/23-40.htm">Leviticus 23:40</a> (H) <em>palm-branches</em>, compare <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">עֲלֵי ת</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/8-15.htm">Nehemiah 8:15</a>; <font class="hebrew2">עִיר הַתְּמָרִים</font> = Jericho <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/34-3.htm">Deuteronomy 34:3</a> (JE), 2 Chronicles 28:15; <a href="/interlinear/judges/1-16.htm">Judges 1:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/judges/3-13.htm">Judges 3:13</a>. — See Post<sup>Hast.
