In the Bible, it symbolizes peace, prosperity, and God's blessing. The myrtle is often associated with the restoration and renewal of Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the myrtle tree was valued for its fragrance and beauty. It was used in various religious and cultural ceremonies, including the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), where branches of myrtle were part of the lulav, a bundle of branches used in the celebration. The myrtle's evergreen nature made it a symbol of life and renewal, reflecting God's enduring covenant with His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1916.htm">hadom</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>myrtle (tree)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>myrtle (3), myrtle trees (3).<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">הֲדַס</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Isaiah 55:13</sup> <font size="+1"><b>myrtle</b></font> (-tree), only late (Late Hebrew, Aram <em>id.</em>; Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb021308.gif"> (in the dialect of Yemen); also <img src="/bdbgif/bdb021309.gif">, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">אָסָה</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb021310.gif">; compare Löw<sup>No. 25</sup>) — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ה</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/41-19.htm">Isaiah 41:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/8-15.htm">Nehemiah 8:15</a>; <font class="hebrew2">הֲדַ֑ס</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/55-13.htm">Isaiah 55:13</a>; plural <font class="hebrew2">הַהֲדַסִּים</font> <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/1-8.htm">Zechariah 1:8</a> 2t.
