It is distinct from the common fig tree and is known for its large size and low branches, which make it easy to climb. In the New Testament, it is mentioned in the context of the account of Zacchaeus, who climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus as He passed by.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The sycamore-fig tree was common in the region of Palestine and Egypt. It was valued for its fruit, which was a staple food for the poor, and its wood, which was used in construction. The tree's significance in the biblical narrative is often tied to its accessibility and the way it provided a vantage point for Zacchaeus, symbolizing the accessibility of Jesus to those who seek Him.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4809</b> <i>sykomōraía</i> (from <a href="/greek/4810.htm">4810</a> <i>/sýkon</i>, "fig" and <i>moron</i>, "mulberry") – the <i>fig</i>-mulberry tree or "<i>white</i> mulberry" tree. </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4810.htm">sukon</a> and moron (the black mulberry)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the fig-mulberry tree, sycamore fig<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sycamore tree (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4809: συκομορέα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συκομορέα</span></span> (Lachmann <span class="greek2">συκομωρεα</span> (<span class="manuref">Rec.<span class="lexsuper">st</span></span> <span class="manuref"><span class="lexsuper">bez</span></span> <span class="greek2">συκομωραία</span>, cf. <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span>s note on Luke as below; <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, pp. I52 and 151)), <span class="greek2">συκομορεας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="greek2">σῦκον</span> and <span class="greek2">μορεα</span> the mulberry tree), equivalent to <span class="greek2">συκάμινος</span> (but see the word, and references), <span class="accented">a sycomore-tree</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/19-4.htm">Luke 19:4</a>.
