ROOT OF JESSE

(shoresh yishay (Isaiah 11:10); rhiza tou Iessai (Romans 15:12)):

The Hebrew and Greek words are practically the same in meaning. "Root" means descendant, branch of the family or stock. The Messianic king was to be of the family of Jesse the father of David. In Romans 15:12 Paul quotes the Septuagint of Isaiah 11:10. Jesus is a branch or descendant of the family of Jesse, as well as of David.
