Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term is φυτεύω (phuteuō), Strong's Greek Number G5452, which also means to plant. This Greek term is used in the New Testament 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 fate of what is not established by God.

Usage: The verb שָׁתַל (shatal) is used in the context of planting or transplanting, often metaphorically to describe stability and prosperity, particularly in relation to a person or a nation being firmly established.

Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁתַל (shatal) appears in the Old Testament to convey the action of planting or transplanting. This term is used metaphorically to describe the establishment and flourishing of individuals or groups who are likened to trees planted by streams of water. Such imagery is used to illustrate the blessings and stability that come from being rooted in righteousness and divine favor.

One of the most notable uses of שָׁתַל is found in Psalm 1:3, where the righteous man is compared to "a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does." This verse highlights the idea of spiritual prosperity and resilience, suggesting that those who delight in the law of the Lord are like well-nourished trees, firmly rooted and thriving.

The concept of being "planted" is also used in Jeremiah 17:8, where it describes a person who trusts in the Lord: "He will be like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." This passage emphasizes the security and fruitfulness that come from reliance on God.

The imagery of planting is a powerful metaphor in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing not only physical stability and growth but also spiritual vitality and divine blessing. The use of שָׁתַל underscores the importance of being rooted in faith and the resulting benefits of such a foundation.
