Bilangan 13:23

13:23 When they came to the valley of Eshcol, they cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a staff ¹  between two men, as well as some of the pomegranates and the figs.

Bilangan 13:1

Spies Sent Out

13:1 ² The Lord spoke ³  to Moses:

1 Samuel 14:2

14:2 Now Saul was sitting under a pomegranate tree in Migron, on the outskirts of Gibeah. The army that was with him numbered about six hundred men.

1 Samuel 14:1

14:1 Then one day Jonathan son of Saul said to his armor bearer, ⁴  “Come on, let’s go over to the Philistine garrison that is opposite us.” But he did not let his father know.

1 Raja-raja 7:18

7:18 When he made the pillars, there were two rows of pomegranate-shaped ornaments around the latticework covering the top of each pillar. ⁵ 

Kidung Agung 4:3

4:3 Your lips are like a scarlet thread; ⁶ 

your mouth is lovely.

Your forehead ⁷  behind your veil

is like a slice of pomegranate.

Yeremia 52:22

52:22 The bronze top of one pillar was about seven and one-half feet ⁸  high and had bronze latticework and pomegranate-shaped ornaments all around it. The second pillar with its pomegranate-shaped ornaments was like it.

Yoel 1:12

1:12 The vine has dried up;

the fig tree languishes –

the pomegranate, date, and apple ⁹  as well.

In fact, ¹⁰  all the trees of the field have dried up.

Indeed, the joy of the people ¹¹  has dried up!

Hagai 2:20

Zerubbabel the Chosen One

2:20 Then the Lord spoke again to Haggai ¹²  on the twenty-fourth day of the month: ¹³ 

[13:23]  ¹ tn The word is related etymologically to the verb for “slip, slide, bend, totter.” This would fit the use very well. A pole that would not bend would be hard to use to carry things, but a pole or stave that was flexible would serve well.

[13:1]  ² sn Chapter 13 provides the names of the spies sent into the land (vv. 1-16), their instructions (vv. 17-20), their activities (vv. 21-25), and their reports (vv. 26-33). It is a chapter that serves as a good lesson on faith, for some of the spies walked by faith, and some by sight.

[13:1]  ³ tn The verse starts with the vav (ו) consecutive on the verb: “and….”

[14:1]  ⁴ tn Or “the servant who was carrying his military equipment” (likewise in vv. 6, 7, 12, 13, 14).

[7:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “he made the pillars, and two rows surrounding one latticework to cover the capitals which were on top of the pomegranates, and so he did for the second latticework.” The translation supplies “pomegranates” after “two rows,” and understands “pillars,” rather than “pomegranates,” to be the correct reading after “on top of.” The latter change finds support from many Hebrew mss and the ancient Greek version.

[4:3]  ⁶ tn The phrase חוּט הַשָּׁנִי (khut hashshani, “thread of scarlet”) is a genitive construct with the genitive functioning adjectivally. This phrase is used three times in classical Hebrew to denote a scarlet colored “thread” or “cord” (Josh 2:18; Song 4:3; 11 QT 49:3) (HALOT 296-97 s.v. חוּט; DCH 3:170-71 s.v. חוּט). This is a comparison of sight, describing the color and shape of her lips.

[4:3]  ⁷ tn Alternately, “cheek,” or “temple” (see Judg 4:21).

[52:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “five cubits.” A “cubit” was a unit of measure, approximately equivalent to a foot and a half.

[1:12]  ⁹ tn This Hebrew word וְתַפּוּחַ (vÿtappuakh) probably refers to the apple tree (so most English versions), but other suggestions that scholars have offered include the apricot, citron, or quince.

[1:12]  ¹⁰ tn These words are not in the Hebrew text but are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[1:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the sons of man.”

[2:20]  ¹² tn Heb “and the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai.” This Hebrew expression is like the one in 2:10 and is slightly different from the one in 1:1, 3; 2:1.

[2:20]  ¹³ sn Again, the twenty-fourth day of the month was Kislev 24 or December 18, 520 b.c. See v. 10.
