Bible Quiz Fruits The Bible mentions various fruits, and not for the purpose of informing its readers about the diet of Bible people. Fruits figure prominently in many stories and have important roles to play in them. There are people and places mentioned in the Bible whose names have a fruit meaning, such as Anab (“grape” – Josh. 11:21, Tamar (“date” – Gen. 38:6), Rimmon (“pomegranate – II Sam. 4:2), and Tappuah (“apple” – I Chron. 2:43). Some stories revolve around the fruits themselves. The first sin, fruit-eating, was committed by Adam and Eve (Gen 3:1-19), the twelve spies judged the abundance of the land of Canaan by the fruit they found therein (Num. 13:17- 27), Abigail appeased the wrath of the soon-to-be King David with fruit cakes (I Sam. 25:1-35), Jesus taught His disciples a lesson on faith by cursing a fig tree (Matt. 21:18-22), and sour grapes were used to convey the principle that a righteous person will not be condemned for the sins of others (Ezek. 18:1- 24).
