However, the concept of an almond tree can be related to the Greek word "ἀμυγδαλή" (amygdalē), Strong's Greek #2825.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the Hebrew Bible, "luz" primarily refers to two distinct concepts: an almond tree and a geographical location. The almond tree is known for its early blooming and is often associated with watchfulness and renewal. As a place name, Luz is notably mentioned as an ancient city that was later renamed Bethel by Jacob.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The almond tree holds significant symbolism in the Bible, often representing vigilance and the fulfillment of God's promises due to its early flowering. The city of Luz, later known as Bethel, is historically significant as a site of divine encounters. Jacob's dream of a ladder reaching to heaven occurred here, marking it as a place of covenant and revelation (Genesis 28:19).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>almond tree, almond wood<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>almond (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">לוּז</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>almond-tree, almond-wood</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
