GRAFF, GRAFT (

(

$&
, 1461) denotes “to graft” in ( , in,
, to graft), to
insert a slip of a cultivated tree into a wild one. In Rom. 11:17, 19, 23, 24, however, the
metaphor is used “contrary to nature” (v. 24), of grafting a wild olive branch (the Gentile)
into the good olive tree (the Jews); that unbelieving Jews (branches of the good tree)
were broken off that Gentiles might be grafted in, afforded no occasion for glorying on

So Jews who abide not in unbelief shall, as “the natural branches, be grafted into their
own olive tree.Ӧ
