In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the inclusion of Gentiles into the spiritual blessings and promises originally given to Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient agricultural practices, grafting was a common technique used to cultivate plants, especially in vineyards and olive groves. This process allowed for the propagation of desirable traits from one plant to another. The metaphor of grafting would have been well understood by the original audience of the New Testament, as it was a familiar agricultural practice in the Greco-Roman world.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1461</b> <i>egkentrízō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">1722</a> <i>/en</i>, "in" and <i>kentrizō</i>, "to prick, puncture") – properly, to <i>engraft</i> (insert) by making a puncture to graft a living shoot <i>into another living plant </i>(<i>tree</i>). </p><p class="discovery">In the NT, <a href="/greek/1461.htm">1461</a> (<i>egkentrízō</i>) always refers to God combining His <i>two</i> redeemed ethnic groups (OT, NT believers) <i>into one people</i> (Heb <i>ʽam</i>, Gk <i>laos</i>). <a href="/greek/1461.htm">1461</a> (<i>egkentrízō</i>) occurs six times, all in Ro 11:17-24.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1461: ἐγκεντρίζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐγκεντρίζω</span></span> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ἐνκεντρίζω</span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, III. 3): 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐνεκεντρισα</span>; passive, 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐνεκεντρίσθην</span>; 1 future <span class="greek2">ἐγκεντρισθήσομαι</span>; to cut into for the sake of inserting a scion; to inoculate, <span class="accented">ingraft, graft in,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Aristotle</span> quoted in <span class="abbreviation">Athen.</span> 14, 68 (p. 653 d.); <span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, h., p. 2, 2, 5; <span class="abbreviation">Antoninus</span> 11, 8): <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/11-17.htm">Romans 11:17, 19, 23, 24</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 52, 4, 5); in these passages Paul likens the heathen who by becoming Christians have been admitted into fellowship with the people for whom the Messianic salvation is destined, to scions from wild trees inserted into a cultivated stock; (cf.
