Leaf:
of a tree. The olive- leaf mentioned Gen 8:11. The barren fig-tree had nothing but leaves (Mat 21:19; Mar 11:13). The oak-leaf is mentioned Isa 1:30; 6:13. There are numerous allusions to leaves, their flourishing, their decay, and their restoration (Lev 26:36; Isa 34:4; Jer 8:13; Dan 4:12,14,21; Mar 11:13; 13:28). The fresh leaf is a symbol of prosperity (Psa 1:3; Jer 17:8; Eze 47:12); the faded, of decay (Job 13:25; Isa 1:30; 64:6; Jer 8:13).
Leaf of a door (1Ki 6:34), the valve of a folding door.
Leaf of a book (Jer 36:23), perhaps a fold of a roll.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
