Easton's Bible Dictionary

Of a tree. The olive-leaf mentioned Genesis 8:11 . The barren fig-tree had nothing but leaves (Matthew 21:19; Mark 11:13 ). The oak-leaf is mentioned Isaiah 1:30; 6:13 .

The fresh leaf is a symbol of prosperity (Psalm 1:3; Jeremiah 17:8; Ezekiel 47:12 ); the faded, of decay (Job 13:25; Isaiah 1:30; 64:6; Jeremiah 8:13 ).
