There was a Jew who made $1.7 million, and by the end of the year, near the End of the New Year, he bought a lot of delicious dried figs, went home for the New Year, and of course, there were separate gifts for his 7-year-old son, and jewelry for his 37-year-old wife, and when he got home, his wife and son were very happy, and his 7-year-old son was very cute and always liked to ask a lot of questions
The father smiled amiably and said that the child we Jews were very fond of figs, and this liking began at the time of our ancestors, and figs are a symbol of a sweet life, a pursuit of happiness
The 7-year-old son looked at his kind father, then at his kind, beautiful and kind mother, and then asked, Mother, is this so? My mother said, indeed, my children, our ancestors have always taught us to cherish the fig tree, it can bring us good luck
The son's eyes widened, then he looked at his father and mother, and then asked his father, Father, then you brought back these figs, I look a little more, what are you going to do, as if you can't finish eating
The father looked at his 7-year-old son and smiled and said, Son, you are right, our family is not easy to eat these figs, we are lucky to make money this year, but our relatives and friends and neighbors, they are not necessarily so lucky, so I plan to share some of these people we like
The son listened to his father's words and said with a smile, Myanmar said, It is so, but father I now have a new question, since you have made money, why don't you give them money directly? Isn't it more affordable to give money? Isn't it a hassle to give figs
The father smiled and said, son, you don't understand, money is not spiritual, but it is an external thing, just a symbol, in fact, it is a medium of intermediate conversion, and the figs are different, I give them, is to give them blessings, because our ancestors told us that the figs are lucky, beautiful and blessed, because figs are more expensive, they generally do not buy, so give figs to them, they are very happy
After the son listened, Mao Sai suddenly opened, the original figs still have this kind of exquisite, but the son just likes to ask the root, so he took a small stool, sat next to the father and mother, wrapped around the table Father said, Father you tell me about the knowledge of figs
The mother also smiled and said, the child is his father, or do you want to tell the child? Father said, Well, I can't remember, I'll take out our heirloom and read it to you
So the father took out the Bible of the Jewish faith and read it reverently to his 7-year-old son:
There are many ancient trees in the Bible, and the fig tree is one of them, for in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and established the Paradise of Eden, among which there was the fig tree (Gen. 3:7). The fig tree is a symbol of God's blessing, because when God promised the elect to enter the land of Canaanite, it was described as " a spring , a source ... There were fig trees..." (Deuteronomy 8:7-8); and when Moses sent spies to spy on the land of Canaan, the spies brought back three kinds of native produce, one of which was the fig (N. 13:23).
The Jewish family is happy, happy and peaceful...
Why are figs often mentioned in the Bible? What are the characteristics of fig trees?
In fact, fig-trees originally grew in Asia Minor and the eastern Mediterranean, and were later introduced to Palestine for cultivation, and are one of the most important trees in the Bible. It can reach a height of 20 to 30 feet and a trunk width of 2 to 3 feet; its roots can penetrate the rock deep into the ground, absorbing water and nutrients, so the tree can be up to 400 years old. The leaves of the fig tree are tough and wide, and in the Garden of Eden in Genesis, it is mentioned that the earliest human garments were woven from the leaves of the fig tree (Gen. 3:7); to this day, people still use the leaves of the fig tree to wrap fresh fruit. It was usually planted next to a well outside the house for shade (1.48).
Figs are one of the main local foods, fresh figs are sweet and juicy (Shi 9:11); dried figs pressed into a cake shape are fine food and can be given as gifts (sprinkled with 25:18).
Putting aside the above, figs are indeed a very delicious fruit, some people have not eaten, I believe that if you have eaten, you must not forget its sweetness and happiness, and the mainland is distributed with many fig trees, of which The figs and fruits in Xinjiang are the largest, the sweetest taste, this fig made of dried figs, not only delicious and convenient to eat, but also not easy to deteriorate, have the opportunity to taste it!
