Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root נָטַע (nata), which means "to plant" or "to fix firmly."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of planting in the Hebrew Bible is paralleled in the Greek New Testament with words such as φυτεύω (phuteuō, Strong's Greek 5452), which means "to plant." This Greek term is used in similar metaphorical contexts, such as in Matthew 15:13, where Jesus says, "Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots." This reflects the idea of divine planting and the ultimate authority of God over what is established and what is removed.

The imagery of planting in both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures underscores themes of growth, divine purpose, and the enduring nature of what is rooted in God's will.

Usage: The term נָטִיעַ is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a plant or something that has been planted. It is often used in contexts related to agriculture, growth, and the natural world.

Context: The Hebrew word נָטִיעַ (nati'a) appears in the context of agriculture and horticulture, reflecting the agrarian society of ancient Israel. It is used to describe plants that are cultivated and tended by humans, as well as those that grow naturally. The concept of planting is significant in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing growth, stability, and the establishment of life.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the imagery of planting is often used metaphorically to describe the establishment of God's people, the growth of righteousness, and the flourishing of the faithful. For example, in Isaiah 61:3, the righteous are described as "oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified." This metaphor highlights the strength, endurance, and divine purpose of those who are firmly rooted in God's ways.

The act of planting is also associated with divine blessing and prosperity. In Jeremiah 24:6, God promises to "build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them." This assurance of being planted by God conveys a sense of security and divine favor.
