It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the beauty and promise of new growth, symbolizing hope, renewal, and the potential for fruitfulness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life, and the imagery of blossoms and budding plants was a powerful symbol of God's provision and blessing. The appearance of blossoms signaled the coming of fruit, which was essential for sustenance and economic stability. The use of "semadar" in biblical texts often evokes the anticipation of harvest and the beauty of creation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>blossom (of the grape)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>blossom (2), blossoms (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">סְמָדֵר</font> ?], also <font class="hebrew2">סְמָדַ֔ר֖</font>, <font class="hebrew2">סְמָדַ֑ר</font> </p><p style="sub1"> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Song 7:13</sup> <font size="+1"><b>blossom of grape</b></font> (just at flowering Duval<sup>REJ xiv (1887), 227 ff.</sup> Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>;
