Grapes

Plant food — the dietary laws of Leviticus 11 concern animals
Would you eat it?
Mentioned in 192 verses (KJV)
Description
Grapes were pressed into wine, dried into raisins, or eaten straight from the vine, and vineyards were common enough that owning one was a mark of settled prosperity. The spies Moses sent into Canaan carried back a single cluster so heavy it took two men on a pole to bear it.
Key verses
“And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.”
Numbers 13:23
“I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
John 15:5
Symbolism
Abiding in Christ for fruitful life — ‘I am the vine, ye are the branches’ (John 15:5).
Fun fact
The valley where the spies cut that cluster was named Eshcol, Hebrew for ‘cluster,’ after the grapes themselves (Numbers 13:24).
