Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "ἄνθος" (anthos), Strong's Greek 438, which also means flower or blossom.

Usage: The Hebrew word "נֵץ" (nets) refers to a flower or blossom, often used metaphorically to describe beauty, transience, or the beginning of something new. In the context of the Bible, it can symbolize the fleeting nature of life or the beauty of God's creation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, flowers and blossoms were significant in daily life and religious symbolism. They were often used in poetry and literature to convey beauty, renewal, and the ephemeral nature of life. The blooming of flowers marked the change of seasons and was a reminder of God's provision and the cycles of nature.
