It is used metaphorically in the Scriptures to describe beauty, purity, and the splendor of creation. The word is associated with the imagery of flowers, which are often used in biblical poetry to convey the transient beauty of life and the glory of God's creation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, flowers like the rose and lily were symbols of beauty and love. They were often used in poetry and literature to express admiration and affection. The rose, in particular, was a symbol of love and was associated with the goddess of love in various cultures. In the biblical context, the use of floral imagery would resonate with the audience's understanding of beauty and the divine.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>meadow saffron or crocus<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>crocus (1), rose (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">חֲבַצֶּלֶת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>meadow-saffron</b></font> or <font size="+1"><b>crocus</b></font> (<em>colchicum autumnale</em>, Linn.)
