However, the metaphorical use of grafting as seen in Romans 11 is unique to the New Testament context and does not have a direct parallel in the Hebrew Scriptures. The broader themes of inclusion and covenant can be linked to various Hebrew terms related to God's promises and the people of Israel, such as: Usage: The term ἐγκεντρίζω is used in the New Testament to describe the process of grafting, particularly in a metaphorical sense to illustrate the inclusion of Gentiles into the spiritual blessings and promises originally given to Israel. Context: The Greek verb ἐγκεντρίζω appears in the New Testament in the context of the Apostle Paul's teachings on the relationship between Jews and Gentiles in the plan of God. It is found in Romans 11, where Paul uses the imagery of an olive tree to explain how Gentiles have been grafted into the rich root of the patriarchs, sharing in the blessings of the covenant.
