Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsamach" primarily means to sprout or grow, often used in the context of plants or vegetation. It conveys the idea of something emerging or coming forth, typically in a natural and organic manner. In a broader sense, it can also refer to the growth or development of people or nations.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The imagery of plants sprouting and growing was a powerful metaphor for life, prosperity, and divine blessing. The growth of plants was often seen as a sign of God's provision and faithfulness. This agricultural context provides a rich backdrop for understanding the use of "tsamach" in the Hebrew Bible.
