Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root נָטַשׁ (natash), meaning "to leave" or "to abandon."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is G2814 (κλῆμα, klema), which also refers to a branch or a shoot, particularly of a vine. This term is used in the New Testament, notably in John 15:5, where Jesus says, "I am the vine; you are the branches." Here, the imagery of the vine and its branches (or tendrils) is used to illustrate the vital connection between Christ and His followers, emphasizing the necessity of remaining in Him to bear fruit. Usage: The term נְטִישָׁה is used in the context of describing the physical characteristics of plants, specifically referring to the tendrils that support climbing plants. Context: The Hebrew word נְטִישָׁה (netishah) appears in the Old Testament to describe the tendrils of a vine. In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, vineyards were a common sight, and the imagery of vines and their tendrils was often used metaphorically in biblical literature. The tendril, as a part of the vine, symbolizes the support and connection necessary for growth and fruitfulness. In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is used in contexts that highlight the natural world and its processes, reflecting the intricate design and provision of God in creation. The tendril's ability to reach out and cling to supports can also be seen as a metaphor for reliance on God, who provides stability and strength.
