However, Greek terms related to flowers or ornamental designs might be considered in broader studies of biblical symbolism and artistry.

Context: • The term גִּבְעֹל (gib'ol) appears in the context of the construction of the tabernacle's lampstand, as described in the book of Exodus. The lampstand, or menorah, was a significant element in the tabernacle, symbolizing light and divine presence. The design of the lampstand included intricate details, such as almond blossoms, buds, and calyxes, which were crafted from pure gold.
• In Exodus 25:33-34 (BSB), the description of the lampstand includes: "Three cups shaped like almond blossoms, with buds and flowers, are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. And on the lampstand there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and flowers."
• The use of the term "gib'ol" in this context highlights the artistic and symbolic nature of the tabernacle's furnishings, reflecting the beauty and order of creation. The calyxes, as part of the lampstand's design, contribute to the overall aesthetic and spiritual significance of the menorah, representing life, growth, and the sustaining power of God.
