Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and New Testament that aligns with the concept of planting is G3504 (νηπιάζω, nepiázō), which means "to be a child" or "to be immature." While not a direct translation of נֶטַע, it reflects the idea of growth and development, akin to the nurturing of a plant. However, for a more direct correlation in terms of planting, the Greek word φυτεύω (phuteuō, Strong's G5452) is often used in the New Testament to describe the act of planting, as seen in passages like Matthew 15:13: "Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots."

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term נֶטַע, highlighting its significance in biblical literature and its metaphorical applications in conveying spiritual truths.

Usage: The word נֶטַע appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a physical plant or the act of planting. It is used in contexts that emphasize growth, cultivation, and the establishment of plants or trees.

Context: • נֶטַע (neta‘) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to describe a plant or the act of planting. It is often used metaphorically to convey ideas of growth, stability, and prosperity. The imagery of planting is frequently employed in the Bible to illustrate spiritual truths, such as the establishment of God's people or the flourishing of righteousness.
• In Isaiah 5:7, the prophet uses the imagery of a vineyard to describe the house of Israel, where נֶטַע is part of the metaphor for God's planting and care for His people: "For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight."
• The concept of planting is also used to convey the idea of divine blessing and provision. In Psalm 92:13, the righteous are compared to trees planted in the house of the LORD: "Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God."
• The act of planting is seen as a divine activity, with God as the ultimate gardener who plants and nurtures His creation. This theme is prevalent throughout the prophetic literature, where the restoration and renewal of Israel are often depicted as a new planting by God.
