However, the concept of plants and their symbolic use can be found in various Greek terms related to vegetation and parables in the New Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "qiqayon" refers to a specific plant mentioned in the Book of Jonah. It is often translated as "gourd" or "plant" and is noted for its rapid growth and provision of shade. The plant is used in the narrative to teach Jonah a lesson about compassion and divine mercy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The exact identity of the "qiqayon" plant is uncertain, with various suggestions including the castor oil plant, a type of gourd, or a vine. In the ancient Near East, such plants were valued for their quick growth and ability to provide shade in hot climates. The account of Jonah uses the plant as a symbol of God's provision and the transient nature of earthly comforts.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(a plant) perhaps castor-oil plant<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>plant (5).<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">קִיקָיוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Jonah 4:6</sup> <font size="+1"><b>a plant</b></font> (compare Assyrian <i><em>Kukkânîtum</em></i> (<font class="hebrew2">כ</font>) a garden-plant, Dl<sup>HWB 327</sup>);
