These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with φυτεύω, often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of planting in both literal and metaphorical contexts, such as the planting of vineyards or the establishment of Israel as God's chosen people. Usage: The verb φυτεύω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of planting, both in a literal sense, such as planting trees or crops, and metaphorically, in the context of establishing or instituting something, such as teachings or communities. Context: The Greek verb φυτεύω (phyteuō) appears in several passages within the New Testament, often conveying the imagery of planting as a metaphor for spiritual growth and establishment. This term is used to illustrate the work of God and His servants in establishing His kingdom and nurturing faith among believers. In the parable of the mustard seed, Jesus uses the concept of planting to describe the kingdom of heaven: "It is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field" (Matthew 13:31, BSB). Here, φυτεύω emphasizes the humble beginnings and eventual expansive growth of God's kingdom. The Apostle Paul employs φυτεύω in 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, where he writes, "I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow" (BSB). This passage highlights the collaborative effort in ministry and the ultimate reliance on God for spiritual increase. In Luke 17:6, Jesus uses the term in a hyperbolic statement about faith: "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you" (BSB). Here, φυτεύω underscores the power of faith to accomplish the seemingly impossible. The metaphorical use of φυτεύω extends to the establishment of teachings and communities, as seen in Matthew 15:13: "Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots" (BSB). This suggests that only what is divinely instituted will endure.
