However, related Greek terms for fruits or seeds might be considered in broader studies of biblical botany or symbolism. Usage: The term אֲגוֹז is used in the context of describing a type of fruit, specifically a nut, which is characterized by its hard shell. Context: The Hebrew word אֲגוֹז (egoz) appears in the Old Testament, specifically in the Song of Solomon 6:11, where it is used to describe a garden of nuts. The passage reads: "I went down to the grove of nut trees to see the blossoms of the valley, to see if the vines had budded or the pomegranates were in bloom." (Song of Solomon 6:11, BSB). This reference to a "grove of nut trees" suggests a cultivated area where nut trees were grown, likely for their edible seeds. The specific type of nut is not detailed in the text, but it is generally understood to refer to a variety of hard-shelled fruits that were known and valued in ancient times for their nutritional and economic value. The imagery of a nut garden in the Song of Solomon is part of a larger poetic and symbolic narrative, often interpreted as an allegory of love and beauty.
