Strong's Lexicon Allon: Oak Original Word: אַלּוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root word אָלָה (alah), meaning "to be strong" or "to be mighty." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Allon," the concept of trees, particularly oaks, can be related to Greek words like "δένδρον" (dendron, Strong's G1186) meaning "tree." Usage: The Hebrew word "Allon" refers to an oak tree, a symbol of strength and endurance in the Bible. Oaks were significant in ancient Israelite culture, often associated with places of worship, covenants, and significant events. The term is used to denote both the physical tree and metaphorically to represent strength and stability. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, oak trees were considered sacred and were often sites for religious rituals and gatherings. Their longevity and sturdiness made them symbols of endurance and resilience. In Israel, oaks were common in the highlands and were often landmarks for significant events or divine encounters.
