Strong's Lexicon saroq: Vine, choice vine Original Word: שָׂרֻק Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to intertwine or to twine Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G288 (ampelos) - vine - G1098 (georgos) - vinedresser, farmer Usage: The term "saroq" refers to a choice or noble vine, often used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe Israel or the people of God as a cultivated and cherished vineyard. It emphasizes the care and attention given to the vine, as well as the expectation of producing good fruit. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, vineyards were a significant part of agricultural life and economy. The vine was a symbol of prosperity and blessing, and it required careful cultivation and protection. The imagery of the vine is prevalent in the Bible, symbolizing God's relationship with His people. The choice vine, or "saroq," represents the ideal state of this relationship, where the people are expected to yield righteousness and justice.
