Jeremia 1:11-12
Och Herrens ord kom till mig(Jeremia);han sa:"Vad ser du Jeremia?"
Jag svarade:"jag ser en gren av ett mandelträd."
Och Herren sa till mig:"Du har sett rätt,för jag ska vaka över mitt ord
och låta det gå i fullbordan."
"A rod of an almond tree - שקד shaked, from שקד shakad, "to be ready," "to hasten," "to watch for an opportunity to do a thing," to awake; because the almond tree is the first to flower and bring forth fruit. Pliny says, Floret prima omnium amygdala mense Januario; Martio vero pomum maturat. It blossoms in January, when other trees are locked up in their winter's repose; and it bears fruit in March, just at the commencement of spring, when other trees only begin to bud. It was here the symbol of that promptitude with which God was about to fulfill his promises and threatening."
