It conveys the idea of new life, vitality, and the initial stages of growth. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the vigor and potential of youth or the renewal of life.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was central to daily life and survival. The imagery of fresh greenery or young shoots would have been a powerful symbol of hope, renewal, and God's provision. The Israelites were deeply connected to the land, and the cycles of planting and harvest were integral to their understanding of God's faithfulness and blessings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/24.htm">abib</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>freshness, fresh green<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>blossoms (1), green (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">אֵב</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>freshness, fresh green</b></font> (Lag<sup>BN 207</sup> Infinitive <em>ibb</em>; thence concrete, compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb000101.gif">; above stem & meaning better than √ <font class="hebrew2">אנב</font> (spring) compare Assyrian <i><em>inbu</em></i>, fruit, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">אִנְבֵּהּ</font> (q. v.)
