It is associated with the idea of growth and productivity, both in a literal agricultural sense and metaphorically in terms of blessings and offspring.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was central to daily life and survival. The concept of fruitfulness was deeply embedded in the culture, symbolizing divine blessing and favor. The imagery of a fruitful bough or branch was often used to describe the prosperity of a person, family, or nation. This reflects the agrarian society's reliance on the land and its produce as a sign of God's provision.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a bough<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>boughs (1), branches (5).<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">מּאֹרָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>bough</b></font>; — plural, all in figure: of vine, absolute <font class="hebrew2">מּאֹרוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/17-6.htm">Ezekiel 17:6</a> (Baer <font class="hebrew2">מֹּראֹות</font>); of cedar, suffix <font class="hebrew2">מּאֹרֹתוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/31-5.htm">Ezekiel 31:5</a> (Kt; <font class="hebrew2">יָ֯ו</font> Qr); <font class="hebrew2">מּאֹרֹתָיו</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/31-6.htm">Ezekiel 31:6</a>, <font class="hebrew2">מֹּראֹתָיו</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/31-8.htm">Ezekiel 31:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/31-12.htm">Ezekiel 31:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/31-13.htm">Ezekiel 31:13</a>. <p> <font class="hebrew2">פארה</font> Kt., <font class="hebrew2">מּוּרָה</font> Qr <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine collective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>boughs</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/10-33.htm">Isaiah 10:33</a> (van d.
