It is used in the Bible to refer to a fruit-bearing tree and its fruit, often symbolizing beauty, love, and sustenance. The apple is frequently associated with pleasant fragrance and sweetness, making it a symbol of desirability and delight.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the apple was a valued fruit, known for its sweet taste and aromatic scent. While the exact species of the "tappuach" mentioned in the Bible is debated, it is often thought to refer to a fruit similar to the modern apple or possibly a type of apricot or quince. The apple tree was a common feature in the landscape of the ancient Near East, and its fruit was enjoyed both fresh and dried.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5301.htm">naphach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>apple tree, apple<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>apple tree (3), apples (3).<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">תַּמּוּחַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>apple-tree, apple</b></font> (from aromatic <em>scent</em> (breath), Thes Lag<sup>BN 111, 129</sup> Post (see below); Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb065601.gif"> is loan-word Frä<sup>140</sup>; on meaning <em>apple</em> see Löw<sup>No. 109</sup> RS<sup>JPh xiii. 65 f.</sup> Post<sup>Hast.
