Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be crude or unripe.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G3653 (ὄλυνθος • olynthos): This Greek term refers to an unripe fig, similar to the Hebrew פַג. It is used in the Septuagint and other Greek texts to convey the same concept of an immature fig.
G967 (βότρυς • botrys): While primarily referring to a cluster of grapes, this term can also be used metaphorically to describe unripe or immature fruit, drawing a parallel to the concept of פַג in terms of development and readiness.

In biblical literature, the use of פַג (pag) serves as a vivid illustration of the natural world and its processes, often carrying deeper symbolic meanings related to growth, potential, and the passage of time.

Usage: The term פַג is used in the context of describing figs that are not fully developed or ripe. It is a specific term that highlights the stage of growth of the fig, indicating that it is not yet ready for consumption.

Context: The Hebrew word פַג (pag) appears in the context of agricultural and natural imagery within the Hebrew Bible. It is specifically used to describe figs that are in an early stage of development, not having reached full ripeness. This term is significant in understanding the agricultural practices and seasonal cycles of ancient Israel, where figs were a common and important fruit. The unripe fig, or פַג, would be recognized by its hardness and lack of sweetness, distinguishing it from the mature, edible fig. The imagery of unripe figs can also be metaphorically applied in biblical texts to describe situations or conditions that are not yet fully developed or ready.
