Definition: The word "ayont" comes from the Hebrew Bible and refers to a specific type of fruit that grows in the Holy Land (Israel) which is also known as the "firstfruits" according to Leviticus chapter 16. The term refers to fruits grown on the first day of Creation, as described in Genesis chapter 2:2-3. The Hebrew Bible states that these fruits were used by God when He created Adam and Eve after the fall from grace. It is believed that the firstfruits are referred to because they represent the foundation stones for all the other fruits which will ultimately be grown throughout the garden of Eden, also known as the "firstfruits" in Hebrew. The specific fruits mentioned include grapes, figs, olives, and aubines (figs and olives) which are traditionally associated with the first day of creation. These fruits were not cultivated by humans at the time and thus have been referred to as the "firstfruits." In other words, these fruits are considered a type of blessing or signet that God gave to Adam and Eve after they had sinned in the Garden of Eden, as described in Genesis chapter 2:17. The firstfruits were gifts from God for His people, who are the descendants of Abraham. This is one of several references to the fruits mentioned in the Bible, which also includes cherubim (figs), figs and olives, and other kinds of fruit found on trees or in the earth, according to Genesis chapter 2:5-7.
