Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2779, κῆπος (kēpos), which also means "garden." This term is used in the New Testament to describe similar concepts of cultivated and enclosed spaces, such as the garden where Jesus prayed before His arrest (John 18:1). The Greek term shares the same connotations of beauty, cultivation, and divine interaction as its Hebrew counterpart.

Usage: The term גִּנָּה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a garden, typically a place of beauty and cultivation. It is often associated with a sense of enclosure and protection, reflecting its root meaning.

Context: The Hebrew word גִּנָּה (ginah) appears in the Old Testament to describe a garden, a place of cultivation and growth. This term is used to convey the idea of an enclosed space, often protected by walls or hedges, where plants are nurtured and cared for. The concept of a garden in biblical times was not only practical, providing food and resources, but also symbolic, representing beauty, order, and divine provision.

In the biblical narrative, gardens are often depicted as places of peace and abundance. For example, the Garden of Eden is described as a paradise where God placed the first humans, Adam and Eve, to live in harmony with creation. The imagery of a garden is also used metaphorically in the Song of Solomon to describe love and beauty.

The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) provides several instances where the term "garden" is used, highlighting its significance in biblical literature. For example, in Song of Solomon 4:12, the beloved is compared to a "locked garden," emphasizing purity and exclusivity: "My sister, my bride, you are a garden locked up, a spring enclosed, a fountain sealed."

Gardens in the biblical context were often places of retreat and reflection, where individuals could experience the presence of God and the beauty of His creation. They served as a reminder of God's provision and the blessings of the natural world.
