Key Terms

· Fig Tree

o "The sycamore was prized not only as a food source but also for its soft but durable lumber, which the Egyptians used extensively for utensils and coffins. The trees provided shade and their spreading branches, which start low on the tree, made them easy to climb. Just before sycamore figs are picked, the end of the fruit where the flower was must be pierced or incised to insure proper ripening." (Myers, Richard. Logos Bible Images. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012.)

o Cf: 1 Ki 10:27, 1 Ch 27:28, Is 9:10, Am 7:14, Jer 24:1–10, Lk 19:4

o A fig tree that failed in its purpose of bearing figs was cursed by Jesus (Matt. 21:18–19), perhaps as a metaphor for the temple, which he thought had failed to bear proper religious fruit (cf. Mark 11:12–25). (Patricia L. Crawford, “Fig,” ed. Mark Allan Powell, The HarperCollins Bible Dictionary (Revised and Updated) (New York: HarperCollins, 2011), 288.)

o “The bad figs may have been such either from having decayed, and thus been reduced to a rotten condition, or as being the fruit of the sycamore, which contains a bitter juice” (Tristram, Nat. Hist.). The inferiority of the fruit is here referred to as an emblem of the rejected Zedekiah and his people. (M. G. Easton, Illustrated Bible Dictionary and Treasury of Biblical History, Biography, Geography, Doctrine, and Literature (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1893), 490.)
