It is used to describe a bunch of grapes or a cluster of fruit, symbolizing abundance and fertility. The term is often associated with the bounty of the Promised Land, as seen in the biblical narrative of the spies sent by Moses.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, vineyards and grape cultivation were significant aspects of agriculture and economy. Grapes were used for eating, making wine, and other products. The imagery of a cluster of grapes was a powerful symbol of prosperity and divine blessing. The land of Canaan, described as "a land flowing with milk and honey," was also noted for its fertile vineyards, making "eshkol" a representation of God's provision and the richness of the land promised to the Israelites.<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 cluster<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cluster (5), clusters (4).<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">אֶשְׁכּוֺל</font> (<font class="hebrew2">אֶשְׁכֹּל</font> Cant 7:8) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Numbers 13:23</sup> cluster (Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb007903.gif">, Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb007904.gif">, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">אִיתְכְּלָא</font>; etymology dubious; Thes MV below √ <font class="hebrew2">שׁכל</font>, but no suitable meaning proven; Sta<sup>§ 258; 300</sup> derives from √ <font class="hebrew2">אשׁך</font> with afformative <font class="hebrew2">ל</font>) — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> absolute <a href="/interlinear/numbers/13-24.htm">Numbers 13:24</a> +; construct <a href="/interlinear/numbers/13-23.htm">Numbers 13:23</a> +; plural <font class="hebrew2">אַשְׁכֹּלוֺת</font> Cant 7:8; construct <font class="hebrew2">אַשְׁכְּלֹת</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32-32.htm">Deuteronomy 32:32</a>, <font class="hebrew2">אֶשְׁכְּלוֺת</font> Cant 7:9; suffix <font class="hebrew2">אַשְׁכְּלֹתֶיהָ</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/40-10.htm">Genesis 40:10</a>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>cluster</em> of grapes, <font class="hebrew2">עֲנָבִים</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/13-23.htm">Numbers 13:23</a> compare <a href="/interlinear/numbers/13-24.htm">Numbers 13:24</a>; see also <a href="/interlinear/genesis/40-10.htm">Genesis 40:10</a> <font class="hebrew2">הִבְשִׁילוּ</font> <font class="hebrew2">עֲנָבִים</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <em>its clusters ripened grapes</em>; hence figurative of deeds of enemies of Israel, <em>clusters of gall have they</em> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32-32.htm">Deuteronomy 32:32</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">עִנְבֵי רוֺשׁ</font>); figurative of Israel <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/65-8.htm">Isaiah 65:8</a> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">יִמָּצֵא הַתִּירוֺשׁ בְּא</font>; <a href="/interlinear/micah/7-1.htm">Micah 7:1</a> <font class="hebrew2">אֵין אֶשְׁכּוֺל לֶאֱכוֺל</font> figurative of desolation of Israel under Yahweh's judgment; Cant 7:9 in simile <font class="hebrew2">שָׁדַיִךְ כְּאֶשְׁכְּלוֺת הַגֶּפֶן</font> compare <a href="/interlinear/songs/7-8.htm">Songs 7:8</a> (where Thes MV think of clusters of dates, see <font class="hebrew2">תָּמָר</font> <em>palm-tree, ib.</em>) <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>cluster</em> of henna-flowers, <font class="hebrew2">הַכֹּפֶר</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> (see <font class="hebrew2">כפר</font>), metaphor of the beloved one <a href="/interlinear/songs/1-14.htm">Songs 1:14</a>.
