Definition: The Hebrew term "Avinu" in the Hebrew Bible refers to a type of fish that, according to various Jewish traditions, was known as "the fish of Avinu," or "the fish from Avinu." This fish, which could be white, red, or green, is often associated with peace and justice. The term "Avinoth" also appears in the Hebrew Bible, but it is used here more loosely. It means "god's vine," a metaphorical figure that symbolizes God's sovereignty over all things and the connection between man and nature through the vine. The phrase "God's vine" signifies both a divine source of sustenance and a sign of God's presence. The term "Avinoth" is often used in religious contexts to denote the spiritual leader, particularly as it relates to prophets like Elijah, who was considered to be God’s prophet. In the Talmud (The Gemara), Avinu refers to a type of fish that can be white, red, or green. In Jewish tradition, this fish symbolizes peace and justice because it is associated with God's vine.
