Almond Tree Almond [1]
The tree and itsfruit are represented by the same word. It is derived from a root signifying 'to hasten,' which is appropriate, seeing it is the first tree to break out into blossom, as a forerunner of spring. The meaning is confirmed by Jeremiah 1:11,12 where the prophet saw an almond tree, and Jehovah said, "Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it." The bowls of the golden candlestick were to be made like almonds. Exodus 25:33,34; Exodus 37:19,20 . Aaron's rod budded, blossomed, and yielded almonds in one night, Numbers 17:8 : beautiful type of the coming of the Lord Jesus out of His grave perfect for His priestly functions. In Ecclesiastes 12:5 , when everything seems to be decaying instead of 'the almond tree shall flourish,' it may be translated 'the almond tree shall be despised;' others say, 'cause loathing;' others prefer to compare the almond tree to the white head of an old man hastening to the grave.
