Usage: The term שָׂרוּק (saruwq) is used in the context of viticulture, symbolizing a cultivated and high-quality vine. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a vine that is carefully tended and valued for its fruit.

Context: The Hebrew term שָׂרוּק (saruwq) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in Isaiah 5:2, where it describes a vineyard planted with choice vines.

The use of שָׂרוּק highlights the contrast between the anticipated quality of the vine and the disappointing outcome, serving as a poignant illustration of Israel's spiritual state.
