Strong's Lexicon eb: Freshness, Fresh Green Shoots, Young Shoots Original Word: אֵב Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be fresh or green. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of newness and growth can be related to Greek words such as "νέος" (neos, G3501) meaning new or young, and "βλάστησις" (blastēsis, G985) meaning growth or sprouting. Usage: The Hebrew word "אֵב" (eb) refers to the freshness or the young green shoots of plants. It is often used metaphorically to describe newness, vitality, and the beginning stages of growth. This term captures the essence of life and renewal, symbolizing hope and potential. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The emergence of fresh green shoots was a sign of a successful planting season and a promise of future harvest. This imagery would resonate deeply with an agrarian society, symbolizing God's provision and the cycle of life. The concept of new growth was also spiritually significant, representing renewal and divine blessing.
