עֵץ ʻêts · H6086 · tree, (piece of) wood, lumber: Hebrew עֵץ (ʻêts, H6086) serves as the primary translation equivalent for Greek δένδρον (déndron, G1186), both denoting tree as a botanical entity, with the Hebrew term carrying a broader semantic range that includes wood as material and wooden objects (timber, staff, stock), while the Greek term remains more narrowly focused on the living tree itself.
