Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to pierce.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G173 (ἄκανθα • akantha): This Greek term translates to "thorn" and is used in the New Testament to describe physical thorns, as well as metaphorical thorns representing trials or challenges, such as in the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:7). Usage: The word חוֹחַ appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing something that is a source of irritation or difficulty, such as a thorn. It is also used metaphorically to describe a ring placed in the nose, typically of an animal, to lead or control it. Context: • Thorn: In the Hebrew Scriptures, thorns are frequently mentioned as part of the curse upon the ground after the Fall (Genesis 3:18). They symbolize obstacles, difficulties, and the consequences of sin. For example, in Hosea 2:6, God says, "Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her so that she cannot find her paths." Here, thorns represent divine intervention to prevent Israel from pursuing idolatry.
