The Lord Labors with Us (Supplemental)

Word Meanings & Symbolism for Additional Contemplation and Exploration.

The underlined links to the various Hebraic and Greek words described in Jacob 5 will take the reader directly to an online concordance that lists all of the locations within the Bible where these words are used. While we do not know the exact words that were used on the Brass or Golden plates, exploring the words below in context can help one gain a better understanding of Jacob's Allegory of the Olive Tree. Simultaneously, Jacob's Allegory of the Olive Tree can help the seeker to better understand the context and meaning of these symbols in the Biblical references. This is a remarkable example of how the sticks of Judah and the sticks of Ephraim can come together as dual witnesses of the Lord's Word and mission.

This list highlights some of the Hebrew and Greek references, but it is by no means complete. There is simply too much to cover in a single lesson, but for those who want to dive deeper, this can be a good place to start, and there is so much to learn! For those who want to continue to explore some of these linguistic relationships, the lexicon function in Scripture Notes can be very convenient and helpful. An explanation of that feature was provided earlier in one of our previous lessons: https://www.cfmcorner.com/post/come-and-partake-of-the-fruit
