Strong's Lexicon zayith: Olive, olive tree, olive branch, olive oil Original Word: זַיִת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root probably meaning to be prominent; a tree Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1636 (elaia): Olive tree - G1637 (elaion): Olive oil Usage: The term "zayith" primarily refers to the olive tree, its fruit, and the oil derived from it. In the Bible, it is often used to symbolize peace, prosperity, and divine blessing. The olive tree is a significant agricultural product in the ancient Near East, and its oil was used for anointing, lighting, and as a staple in the diet. Cultural and Historical Background: The olive tree is one of the most enduring symbols in the Bible, representing peace and abundance. It was a critical part of the economy in ancient Israel, providing food, oil for lamps, and anointing oil for religious and royal ceremonies. The olive branch is famously known as a symbol of peace, as seen in the account of Noah when the dove returned with an olive leaf (Genesis 8:11). Olive oil was also used in the tabernacle and temple services, signifying the presence and blessing of God.
