It is a specific type of knife or hook designed for cutting away dead or overgrown branches to promote healthy growth. In the biblical context, it symbolizes the act of removing what is unnecessary or harmful to ensure fruitful development.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life, and vineyards were common. Pruning was an essential agricultural practice to maintain the health and productivity of the vines. The "mazmerah" was a vital tool for farmers, representing not only physical labor but also the care and attention required to cultivate a fruitful harvest. This imagery is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe God's care and discipline of His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2168.htm">zamar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a pruning knife<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pruning hooks (3), pruning knives (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">מַזְמֵרָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>pruning-knife</b></font>, only plural <font class="hebrew2">וְכָרַת הַזַּלְזַלִּים בַּמַּזְמֵרוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/18-5.htm">Isaiah 18:5</a>;
