Mustard seed [∞]

Discussion

The Greek word for 'mustard' is sinapi. The Hebrew word 'sinapir' אסנפר thorn sounds very similar to awsone 'hurt' אסון and api 'anger' אפי . Is it plausible that this is word-play pointing back to the seed of the woman? [1]

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
It could be said that Jesus was the least [1] of all of the seeds of woman since he served us all on the cross. [2][3]
  1. ↑ ▸ ± Mr 4:31 [It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
  2. ↑ ▸ ± Lu 9:48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
  3. ↑ ▸ ± Lu 22:27 For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

The seed of the woman had a bruised heel. [1]

  1. ↑ ▸ ± Ge 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
