It shares a thematic connection with יוֹנֵק in that both terms can denote something young and developing, whether it be a child or a young plant. Usage: The word יוֹנֵק appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe young shoots or twigs, often in a metaphorical sense to convey ideas of new growth or emerging life. It is used in contexts that emphasize the fragility or potential of something that is just beginning to grow. Context: יוֹנֵק (yonek) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to denote a young shoot or twig, often symbolizing new life or growth. This term is used in various passages to illustrate the concept of something that is tender and in the process of maturing. For example, in Isaiah 53:2, the imagery of a tender shoot is employed to describe the humble beginnings and growth of the Servant of the Lord: "He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground." This metaphor highlights the vulnerability and potential inherent in the early stages of life. The use of יוֹנֵק in the biblical text underscores themes of renewal, hope, and the unfolding of divine purposes through seemingly insignificant beginnings.
