Definition: The word "almond" comes from Old English, which means a soft and fragrant fruit that has a white or green skin. It's derived from the Old Norse "Almond", which was later translated into English as "Almond". In English usage, the root "aund" indicates it is a small or delicate fruit with a tender center that resembles an almond. The term was often used to indicate a food item like an almond. The word "almonry" is used in the Bible several times in reference to almonds: 1. In Deuteronomy 8:3, God commands Moses to bring the Israelites out of Egypt and set up the Tabernacle by planting them in olive groves (this would be similar to planting an almond tree): "And the Lord spoke unto me, saying, Thou shalt not take away thy oil from thine olive trees, but shall plant it upon the mountains; and thou shalt set the mountain before thee, and plant it on the mountains. And there shall the seed of the manna come forth in the midst of thine olive trees, and thou shalt be able to eat thereof." 2. In Hebrews 6:8-9, God says that if one believes he is a "new creation" through faith in Christ (the phrase used here means "a new birth"), he will live by faith and be planted with the olive tree of repentance: "And when thou hast received it, believe in it; and after this thou shalt be saved. For I am come to send unto you peace, not as an envoy but as a witness, that ye might know the love which God hath put in me, because from the foundation of the world hath he loved thee." 3. In Deuteronomy 8:1-4, God commands Moses to plant olive trees beside the tabernacle: "And thou shalt make them an olive tree; and it shall be said unto thee that there is a new olive-tree in this land, and I will give thee thereof as a seed of my servant David." In each case, the term "almond" was used to indicate a food item with a delicate flavor and soft texture. The use of "almahry" (the Hebrew word for "new creation") in the Bible refers to God's love and provision for Israel during their time in Egypt under Pharaoh. The Hebrew word "almahry" is similar to the Old Norse "Almond", which in turn has roots from Old English.
