Strong's Lexicon Tappuach: Apple Original Word: תַּפוּחַ Word Origin: From the root נָפַח (naphach), meaning "to breathe" or "to blow," possibly referring to the fragrance or shape of the fruit. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Tappuach," the concept of apples or similar fruits can be found in the Greek word μήλον (mēlon), which also refers to fruit, often translated as "apple" or "quince." Usage: The Hebrew word "Tappuach" is commonly translated as "apple" in English. It refers to a fruit-bearing tree known for its sweet and fragrant fruit. In the biblical context, it is often used symbolically to represent beauty, love, and sustenance. The apple is mentioned in poetic and romantic contexts, highlighting its desirability and pleasantness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the apple was a valued fruit, appreciated for its taste and aroma. It was often associated with love and beauty, as seen in the Song of Solomon. The apple tree's blossoms and fruit were symbols of fertility and abundance. While the exact species of the "apple" mentioned in the Bible is debated, it is likely that it referred to a fruit similar to what we know today, or possibly a related fruit like the apricot or quince, which were common in the region.
