"Olive tree"

  1. 20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
  2. 8 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
    9 But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour aGod and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
  3. 23 ¶ And within the oracle he amade two bcherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
    • • •
    31 ¶ And for the entering of the oracle he made adoors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
    32 The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
    33 So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
  4. 8 But I am like a agreen olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
  5. 6 ¶ Yet agleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.
  6. 13 ¶ When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the apeople, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
  7. 16 The Lord called thy name, A agreen bolive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
  8. 6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the aolive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
  9. 19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
  10. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive atree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
    • • •
    24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
  11. 12 Yea, even my father spake much concerning the Gentiles, and also concerning the house of Israel, that they should be compared like unto an aolive-tree, whose bbranches should be broken off and should be cscattered upon all the face of the earth.
    • • •
    14 And after the house of aIsrael should be scattered they should be bgathered together again; or, in fine, after the cGentiles had received the fulness of the dGospel, the natural branches of the eolive-tree, or the fremnants of the house of gIsrael, should be grafted in, or hcome to the knowledge of the true Messiah, their Lord and their Redeemer.
  12. 7 And they said: Behold, we cannot understand the words which our father hath spoken concerning the natural branches of the aolive-tree, and also concerning the Gentiles.
    • • •
    12 Behold, I say unto you, that the house of Israel was compared unto an olive-tree, by the Spirit of the Lord which was in our father; and behold are we not broken off from the house of Israel, and are we not a abranch of the house of Israel?
    • • •
    16 Behold, I say unto you, Yea; they shall be remembered again among the house of Israel; they shall be agrafted in, being a natural branch of the olive-tree, into the true olive-tree.
  13. 3 For behold, thus saith the Lord, I will liken thee, O house of aIsrael, like unto a tame bolive-tree, which a man took and nourished in his cvineyard; and it grew, and waxed old, and began to ddecay.
    4 And it came to pass that the master of the vineyard went forth, and he saw that his olive-tree began to decay; and he said: I will aprune it, and dig about it, and nourish it, that perhaps it may shoot forth young and tender branches, and it perish not.
    • • •
    7 And it came to pass that the master of the vineyard saw it, and he said unto his aservant: It grieveth me that I should lose this tree; wherefore, go and pluck the branches from a bwild olive-tree, and bring them hither unto me; and we will pluck off those main branches which are beginning to wither away, and we will cast them into the fire that they may be burned.
    • • •
    9 Take thou the branches of the wild olive-tree, and graft them in, in the astead thereof; and these which I have plucked off I will cast into the fire and burn them, that they may not cumber the ground of my vineyard.
    10 And it came to pass that the servant of the Lord of the vineyard did according to the word of the Lord of the vineyard, and grafted in the branches of the awild olive-tree.
    • • •
    14 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard went his way, and hid the natural abranches of the tame olive-tree in the nethermost parts of the vineyard, some in one and some in another, according to his will and pleasure.
    • • •
    34 And the servant said unto his master: Behold, because thou didst graft in the branches of the wild olive-tree they have nourished the roots, that they are alive and they have not perished; wherefore thou beholdest that they are yet good.
    • • •
    46 And now, behold, notwithstanding all the care which we have taken of my vineyard, the trees thereof have become corrupted, that they bring forth no good afruit; and these I had hoped to preserve, to have laid up fruit thereof against the season, unto mine own self. But, behold, they have become like unto the wild olive-tree, and they are of no worth but to be bhewn down and cast into the fire; and it grieveth me that I should lose them.
  14. 1 And now, behold, my brethren, as I said unto you that I would prophesy, behold, this is my prophecy—that the things which this prophet aZenos spake, concerning the house of Israel, in the which he likened them unto a tame bolive-tree, must surely come to pass.
