Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for תַּלְתַּל in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of a trailing bough is specific to the Hebrew context and does not have a direct parallel in the Greek New Testament lexicon. However, similar imagery might be found in Greek words related to branches or vines, such as κλάδος (klados • branch) or ἄμπελος (ampelos • vine), which are used in metaphorical contexts in the New Testament.

Usage: The term תַּלְתַּל is used in the context of describing a trailing or hanging bough, often in a poetic or metaphorical sense.

Context: The Hebrew word תַּלְתַּל (taltal) appears in the context of describing the beauty and grace of nature, particularly in the imagery of trees and their branches. This term is used to evoke the image of branches that hang or trail, suggesting a sense of elegance and natural beauty. In the Berean Standard Bible, תַּלְתַּל is found in Isaiah 18:5, which reads: "For before the harvest, when the blossom is gone and the flower becomes a ripening grape, He will cut off the shoots with pruning knives and remove and discard the branches." Here, the imagery of pruning and removing branches highlights the care and attention given to the cultivation of a vineyard, symbolizing divine intervention and judgment. The use of תַּלְתַּל in this passage underscores the transient beauty of nature and the meticulous process of growth and refinement.
