Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּלָה (daláh), which means "to draw" or "to lift."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2798: κλάδος (kládos) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to a branch or a shoot, often in parables and teachings of Jesus, such as in John 15:5, "I am the vine; you are the branches."
• G2814: κλάσμα (klásma) • While this term primarily means a fragment or piece, it shares a conceptual link with the idea of parts or portions, akin to branches being parts of a tree.

The Hebrew concept of דָּלִיָּה as a bough or branch finds its thematic parallels in the Greek New Testament, where branches symbolize connection to the source, growth, and the bearing of fruit.

Usage: The word דָּלִיָּה is used in the context of describing branches or boughs, often in a metaphorical sense to depict growth, extension, or something that is suspended.

Context: • דָּלִיָּה (Daliyah) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe branches or boughs, often in poetic or prophetic literature. The imagery of a bough is frequently used to symbolize prosperity, growth, or the extension of influence. In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, the growth of a tree's branches was a common metaphor for the flourishing of a person or nation.
• For example, in Isaiah 17:6, the imagery of branches is used to depict the remnant of a people: "Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten—two or three berries at the top of the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches," illustrating the idea of survival and continuity amidst judgment.
• The use of דָּלִיָּה in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of nature metaphors in conveying spiritual truths and divine messages. The bough, as a part of the tree, signifies life, connection, and the potential for fruitfulness.
