Leaf, Leaves The word occurs in the Authorized Version either in singular or plural number in three different senses. 1. Leaf of a tree. The righteous are often compared to green leaves. Jer 17:8 The ungodly, on the other hand, are "as an oak whose leaf fadeth." Isa 1:30 2. Leaves of doors. The hebrew word, which occurs very many times in the Bible, and which in 1Ki 6:32 (margin) and 1Kin 6:34 is translated "leaves" in the Authorized Version, signifies beams, ribs, sides, etc. 3. Leaves of a book or roll occurs in this sense only in Jer 36:23 The Hebrew word (literally doors) would perhaps be more correctly translated columns. |
