Bible Question: Can you give me more information about the significance of the word "myrtle" in Isaiah 41:19 and Isaiah 55:13? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Neh 8:15; Isa 41:19, 55:13; Zec 1:8, 10, 11 ... Greetings cbruiny, The myrtle is a shrub or low tree sometimes ten feet high, with green shining leaves, and snow-white flowers bordered with purple, "which emit a perfume more exquisite than that of the rose." The seeds of the myrtle, dried before they are ripe, form our allspice. Source: Smith's Bible Dictionary -It was one of the items to make booths (Neh 8:15). -It will be one thing in the wilderness (Isa 41:19) -It was contrasted with the nettle and with the cypress, it will be it will be a memorial to the LORD, For an everlasting sign which will not be cut off. (Isa 55:13). -There are two men and an angel standing among them (Zec 1:8, 10, 11). Hope this helps, Searcher |
