Fig First mentioned in Gen .
3 :
7 .
The fig -
tree is mentioned (
Deut .
8 :
8 )
as one of the valuable products of Palestine .
It was a sign of peace and prosperity (
1 Kings 4 :
25 ;
Micah 4 :
4 ;
Zech .
3 :
10 ).
Figs were used medicinally (
2 Kings 20 :
7 ),
and pressed together and formed into "
cakes "
as articles of diet (
1 Sam .
30 :
12 ;
Jer .
24 :
2 ).
Our Lord '
s cursing the fig -
tree near Bethany (
Mark 11 :
13 )
has occasioned much perplexity from the circumstance ,
as mentioned by the evangelist ,
that "
the time of figs was not yet ."
The explanation of the words ,
however ,
lies in the simple fact that the fruit of the fig -
tree appears before the leaves ,
and hence that if the tree produced leaves it ought also to have had fruit .
It ought to have had fruit if it had been true to its "
pretensions ,"
in showing its leaves at this particular season .
"
This tree ,
so to speak ,
vaunted itself to be in advance of all the other trees ,
challenged the passer -
by that he should come and refresh himself with its fruit .
Yet when the Lord accepted its challenge and drew near ,
it proved to be but as the others ,
without fruit as they ;
for indeed ,
as the evangelist observes ,
the time of figs had not yet arrived .
Its fault ,
if one may use the word ,
lay in its pretensions ,
in its making a show to run before the rest when it did not so indeed " (
Trench ,
Miracles ).
The fig -
tree of Palestine (
Ficus carica )
produces two and sometimes three crops of figs in a year , (
1 )
the bikkurah ,
or "
early -
ripe fig " (
Micah 7 :
1 ;
Isa .
28 :
4 ;
Hos .
9 :
10 ,
R .
V .),
which is ripe about the end of June ,
dropping off as soon as it is ripe (
Nah .
3 :
12 ); (
2 )
the kermus ,
or "
summer fig ,"
then begins to be formed ,
and is ripe about August ;
and (

the pag (
plural "
green figs ,"
Cant .

Gr .

Rev .
6 :
13 , "
the untimely fig "),
or "
winter fig ,"
which ripens in sheltered spots in spring .
