Berean Strong's Lexicon Rimmown: Pomegranate Original Word: רִמּוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root רָמַם (ramam), meaning "to be high" or "to rise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4508: ῥόα (rhoa) - pomegranate - Strong's Greek 4509: ῥόδιον (rhodion) - pomegranate tree Usage: The term "Rimmown" primarily refers to the pomegranate fruit, a symbol of fertility, abundance, and blessing in the Hebrew Bible. It is often associated with beauty and prosperity due to its numerous seeds and vibrant appearance. The pomegranate is also used in a few place names and personal names within the biblical text. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the pomegranate was a significant agricultural product and held symbolic meaning. It was used in religious contexts, such as the design of the priestly garments (Exodus 28:33-34) and the decoration of the Temple (1 Kings 7:18-20). The fruit's many seeds made it a symbol of fruitfulness and divine blessing. Pomegranates were also common in the broader ancient Near Eastern cultures, often depicted in art and mythology.
