Usage: In the New Testament, "staphulé" refers to grapes, often in the context of vineyards and wine production. Grapes were a significant agricultural product in ancient Israel and the surrounding regions, symbolizing abundance, blessing, and joy. The term is used both literally and metaphorically in Scripture.

Cultural and Historical Background: Grapes were a staple in the diet of ancient Near Eastern cultures, used for eating fresh, drying as raisins, and fermenting into wine. Vineyards were a common sight in the landscape of Israel, and the cultivation of grapes was a well-developed practice. The grapevine became a symbol of Israel itself, representing God's chosen people and their relationship with Him. The imagery of the vineyard is frequently used in the Bible to convey spiritual truths about growth, fruitfulness, and divine judgment.
