Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be erect.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G2748: καῦνος (kaunos) • While not a direct equivalent, this Greek term refers to a type of tree, specifically a reed or cane, used in the New Testament. The connection lies in the broader category of plant life and the symbolic use of trees in biblical texts.

Usage: The term תְּאַשּׁוּר is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific type of tree, likely a cedar or a similar coniferous tree, known for its height and strength.

Context: • The Hebrew word תְּאַשּׁוּר appears in the context of describing the grandeur and majesty of certain trees, often in poetic or metaphorical language. In the Bible, trees like the תְּאַשּׁוּר are emblematic of strength, stability, and beauty. The term is used in Isaiah 41:19, where it is listed among other trees that God will plant in the wilderness, symbolizing restoration and divine blessing: "I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive; I will set the juniper in the desert, the fir (תְּאַשּׁוּר) and the cypress together."
• The תְּאַשּׁוּר is often associated with the cedars of Lebanon, renowned for their quality and used in significant construction projects, including the Temple of Solomon. The imagery of these trees is used to convey messages of hope, renewal, and the splendor of God's creation.
• In biblical literature, the תְּאַשּׁוּר serves as a symbol of God's provision and the flourishing of His people. The presence of such trees in desolate areas signifies transformation and the fulfillment of divine promises.
