Vine (Heb. gefen; Gr. ampelos). A plant, a vine stock; the grape-producing plant. Its appearance, as it is cultivated in the Holy Land, is very similar to a small tree, with a trunk of about 50 cm in diameter. The branches, which usually reach the ground and are joined to each other by means of the branches, give rise to bunches (Heb. zeshkôl) that weigh up to 5 and 6 kg. Some planted shoots up to 3 m long, which the growers held on stones and braided them from vine to vine or supported them on fig trees. When the vine was chosen, it was called í’ôrêq, perhaps because of its place of origin (Valley of Sorec) or because of the color of its fruit (red or pink). Even when the biblical text speaks of the wild vine (2Ki 4:39), it does not seem that the existence of such plants was frequent. See Wine; Vineyard.

(plant that bears the grape).
The Church of Christ is as “one” and “unique” as this plant: Christ is the vine: (the trunk), Christians are the “branches”: (the branches) of that unique vine, Jn.15.

vet, This term generally designates the true vine (“Vitis vinifera”), native to western Asia (south of the Caspian Sea) (cf. Gn. 9:20, 21). The Egyptians cultivated it (Gen. 40:9-11; Ps. 78:47). There are sculptures from the Old Kingdom depicting vines, grapes and presses, as well as winemaking. The land and climate of Palestine are suitable for its cultivation, which was practiced from the beginning in Canaan (Gen. 14:18). The vine grew on the plains of Philistia, Jezreel, Gennesaret (1 Kings 21:1; Wars 3:10, 8) and thrived in the rugged regions near Hebron, Shiloh, Shechem (Numbers 13:23; Judg. 9 :27; 21:20; Jer. 31:5), En-gedi (Song 1:14), Heshbon, Eleale, Sibma east of the Jordan (Isa. 16:8-10; Jer. 48:32) and in Lebanon (Os. 14.7). There is a huge difference between good plants and wild ones (Isa. 5:2; Jer. 2:21). Vines were frequently found either on the tops or on the slopes of hills, sometimes descending on artificial terraces (Isa. 5:1; Jl. 3:18). It was protected by a hedge or wall (Num. 22:24; Ps. 80:8-12; Prov. 24:30, 31; Song 2:15; Isa. 5:5). The land was cleared, a hut or tower was erected for the guardian, and a winepress was carved out of the rock (Isa. 1:8; 5:1-7; Mt. 21:33-41). These ancient winepresses still exist in large numbers in Palestine. Of all the cultivated plants, it is the vine that requires the most care (Mt. 20:1-16; Lv. 25:3; Pr. 24:30, 31; Is. 5:6; Jn. 15.2). The vine was allowed to spread along the ground, raising only the branches that bear fruit (Is. 16:8; Ez. 17:6). Vines were sometimes made to climb trees or over and between trellises (1 Kings 4:25; Mi. 4:4). The black grape was cultivated in particular (Is. 63:2; Rev. 14:19-20). In privileged places, the maturation finished before the month of August. Fresh grapes or raisins were consumed (Num. 6:3; Deut. 23:24); A highly valued food item, it was also preserved in the form of cakes (1 Sam. 25:18; 1 Chron. 16:3). Its juice was drunk fresh or fermented (see WINE). The harvests began in mid-September and continued until October, in the midst of a festive atmosphere. The grapes were trodden in the winepress to obtain the must (Jud. 9:27; Is. 16:10; Jer, 25:30; 48:33). Israel is likened to a vine (Ps. 80:8-13). In Is. 5 it is likened to a vineyard. God arranged it on a fertile hillside, planting it with the choicest vines, and doing everything possible for its protection and yield. But when fruit was sought from it, it turned out that it only produced wild grapes. Finally, God removed her fence, leaving her to the elements and to be trampled by all; a prophetic image of Israel in its state of apostasy. The Lord Jesus, just as he became the true Servant of Jehovah where Israel had failed (see SERVANT OF JEHOVAH), he also became the true vine; His disciples become the branches. There can be no true fruit in your life except as long as you abide in Him (John 15:1-5).

Perennial and climbing plant. It belongs to the ampelidae family. It produces the grape, from which the wine is made.
The vine is frequently mentioned in the Bible, especially in the Prophets. It is an emblem of virtue and divine presence: Is. 5.4; Jer. 2.21; Joel. 1.7; Am. 5. 17.
And it is the idea that will be present frequently in the New Testament. Up to 32 times the idea of vineyard or vine (ampelos) is cited in the various evangelical texts and the Epistles. And this plant is related to life, fertility, solidarity, love.
It is normal that Jesus himself proposed it as a model for his Church, making himself a fertile vine and calling his disciples fertilized branches, which give life united to the vine. “I am the vine and my Father the Vinedresser. You are the branches. United with me you will bear much fruit.” (John 15. 1-5)

Plant with long, slender, climbing stems that creep along the ground or climb by means of tendrils; the most common variety is Vitis vinifera. The Hebrew word ge fen usually refers to “the wine vine” (Nu 6:4; Jg 13:14), and, exceptionally, to the “wild vine” that produced wild gourds. (2Ki 4:39.)
The history of viticulture begins with the statement: “Noah proceeded to plant a vineyard.” (Ge 9:20) Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out “bread and wine” to present to Abraham, proving that before 1933 B.C. CE grapes were grown in the land of Canaan. (Ge 14:18) Egyptian inscriptions depict the grape harvest and tread it in winepresses as early as the 2nd millennium BC. CE; the Pharaohs of that time had official cupbearers. (Ge 40:9-13, 20-23) However, the Egyptian wine-making industry suffered a severe blow when Jehovah “went to kill the vine” with a plague of hail. (Ps 78:47; 105:33)
The spies who entered the Promised Land, “the land of vines and figs and pomegranates,” carried away from the torrential valley of Escol a bunch of grapes so large that they had to be carried with a pole between two men. (De 8:8; Nu 13:20, 23, 26) It is said that bunches of grapes in this region weigh between 4.5 and 5.5 kg, and a record is kept of a bunch that weighed 12 kg. , and another of more than 20 Kg.
In addition to the torrential valley of Escol, other regions mentioned in the Bible where the grape was grown are: En-gedí, next to the Dead Sea (Can 1:14); Shechem (Jdg 9:26, 27); Shiloh (Jdg 21:20, 21), and, on the other side of the Jordan, Sibmah, Heshbon, and Elealeh. (Isa 16:7-10; Jer 48:32)
Your cultivation. Vines were often grown on the slopes of mountains. It was customary to fence them or put a wall around them (Nu 22:24; Pr 24:30, 31), and also to build huts or watchtowers (Isa 1:8; 5:2) in order to protect them from thieves or robbers. intruding animals, such as foxes and wild boars. (Ps 80:8, 13; Ca 2:15) Mosaic law permitted a wayfarer to eat to his satisfaction, but nothing could be carried away in a receptacle, as this would be considered theft. (Deut 23:24.)
For greater comfort, a winepress and a tub were dug nearby, since in general most of the harvest was trodden to make wine. (Isa 5:2; Mr 12:1; see WINE AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.) Of course, grapes were also eaten fresh and dried in the sun to make raisins. (1Sa 25:18; 30:12; 2Sa 16:1; 1Ch 12:40)
The ancient vines were structured in different ways. Sometimes the vines were planted in rows about 2.5 m apart. or more in well-prepared soil. Under Mosaic law, no other seeds could be planted in a vineyard, although trees, such as the fig tree, could be planted. (De 22:9; Lu 13:6, 7) Vines grown on hillsides were sometimes left on the ground and the bunches raised with forked sticks, although they were usually placed on wooden trellises or piles of stones.
To produce good grapes, it is necessary to prune the vines. Jesus said that “every branch that does not bear fruit he removes, and every branch that bears fruit he cleanses, that it may bear more fruit.” (Joh 15:2) Pruning the productive branches and cutting the barren ones makes it possible to obtain good-quality fruit, since the vitality of the plant is better utilized. In Bible lands, pruning began in the spring, around March, and was repeated again in April and May if necessary. (2Ch 26:10; Isa 18:5; Lu 13:7)
If a productive vine is well cared for and pruned, it can live and grow long. For example, one Jericho vine is reported to be over three hundred years old, and its trunk had a diameter of nearly 18 inches. Sometimes these old vines reached a height of 9 m. and they were true †˜trees†™. But despite its size comparable to that of the trees of the forest, the wood of the vine did not serve either as a “stick with which to do any work” nor as a “stake on which to hang any kind of utensil” because it is too soft, and it is not straight enough to use as lumber. The vine wood only served as fuel for the fire. Therefore, this wood, which only served as fuel for the fire, was used by Jesus as an appropriate illustration of the unfaithful inhabitants of Jerusalem whose final destiny would be similar to that of the fruitless vine. (Eze 15:2-7; Joh 15:6)
The grape harvest was a season of singing and joy in which the grape pickers and the treaders of the presses participated. (Jg 9:27; Isa 16:10; Jer 25:30; see WINEPRESS.) It was also a joyful time for the poor and alien residents of the land, who were allowed to pick the vineyards after…
