צוּץ

The next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw that Aaron’s staff, representing the house of Levi, had sprouted, put forth buds, blossomed, and produced almonds.

May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, the people of its cities like the grass of the field.

…in the morning it springs up new, but by evening it fades and withers.

…that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

As for man, his days are like grass—he blooms like a flower of the field;

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but the crown upon him will gleam.”

My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Look, he stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattice.

In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.

Behold, the day is here! It has come! Doom has gone out, the rod has budded, arrogance has bloomed.
