Biblical texts:
1. Almond Tree: The almond tree is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 12:5, wherein the description of old age it says “the almond-tree shall blossom.” The reference is probably to the white hair of age. An almond tree in full bloom upon a distant hillside has a certain likeness to a head of white hair. It also alludes to the Israelite women who would use almond oil for aging and moisturize their hair to make it shine.
2. A Rod/ Staff of Almond:
A rod of almond is referred to Genesis 30:37, where “Jacob took him rods of fresh poplar, and of the almond (luz) and of the plane-tree; and peeled white streaks in them” as a means of securing “ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted” lambs and goats-a proceeding founded doubtless upon some ancient folklore. Aaron’s rod that budded (Numbers 17:2, 3) was an almond rod. Also see Jeremiah 1:11.
3. The Blossoms:
The blossoms of the almond are mentioned Exodus 25:33; Exodus 37:19, etc. “Cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop (i.e. knob) and a flower,” is the description given of parts of the sacred candlesticks called the Temple Menorah. It is doubtful exactly what was intended-the most probable is, as Rabbis have suggested, that the cup was modeled after the calyx of the almond flower.
