Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root word δρῦς (drys), meaning "oak" or "tree."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 6086 (עֵץ, ets): This Hebrew word is commonly used in the Old Testament to refer to trees, wood, or timber. It shares a similar range of meanings with δένδρον, often symbolizing life, growth, and the natural order established by God.

• Strong's Hebrew 6095 (עָצָה, atseh): Another Hebrew term related to trees, often used in the context of wood or timber, reflecting the practical and symbolic uses of trees in biblical narratives.

These entries illustrate the continuity between the Old and New Testaments in using the imagery of trees to convey spiritual truths and divine principles.

Usage: The term δένδρον is used in the New Testament to refer to literal trees, often in parables or teachings of Jesus to illustrate spiritual truths. It appears in contexts that emphasize growth, fruitfulness, and the natural world as a reflection of divine principles.

Context: The Greek word δένδρον is used in the New Testament to convey both literal and metaphorical meanings. In the Berean Standard Bible, δένδρον appears in several key passages:

• Matthew 7:17-19: "Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." Here, δένδρον is used metaphorically to describe the nature of individuals and their deeds, emphasizing the importance of producing good works as evidence of one's faith.

• Luke 13:6-9: In the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree, δένδρον is used to describe the fig tree that fails to produce fruit, symbolizing the need for repentance and the consequences of spiritual barrenness.

• Revelation 22:2: "Down the middle of the main street of the city, on either side of the river, stood the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations." Here, δένδρον refers to the tree of life, a symbol of eternal life and divine provision in the New Jerusalem.

The use of δένδρον in these passages highlights the biblical theme of growth, fruitfulness, and the relationship between one's actions and spiritual health. Trees are often used in Scripture to symbolize strength, stability, and the life-giving power of God.
