Figuratively (a) of spiritual blessings (Ezekiel 47:12; compare Revelation 22:2) and prosperity (Psalms 1:3); (b) of moral decay (Isaiah 64:6), and (c) of a formal, empty profession (Matthew 21:19). (2) To a book (deleth), Jeremiah 36:23 (margin "columns"; see Jeremiah 36:2); as the parchment was gradually unfolded the successive columns could be read.
