Meanings

branch of vine

Part of a vine which grows out of the trunk or a bough

Examples
Numbers 13:23 Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and from there they cut off a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs.
Isaiah 17:10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your refuge. Therefore you plant delightful plants And set them with vine shoots of a strange god.
Ezekiel 15:2 “Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
to hold the vine branch to the nose > to insult

Literally: "to hold the vine branch to their nose (or: my nose)"; hence, possibly: to make an insulting gesture

Examples
Ezekiel 8:17 And He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it a trivial thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have committed here, that they have filled the land with violence and provoked Me to anger repeatedly? Yet behold, they are putting the twig to their nose!
