Branch
a symbol of kings descended from royal ancestors (Ezek. 17:3,
10; Dan. 11:7); of prosperity (Job 8:16); of the Messiah, a
branch out of the root of the stem of Jesse (Isa. 11:1), the
"beautiful branch" (4:2), a "righteous branch" (Jer. 23:5), "the
Branch" (Zech. 3:8; 6:12).

Disciples are branches of the true vine (John 15:5, 6). "The
branch of the terrible ones" (Isa. 25:5) is rightly translated
in the Revised Version "the song of the terrible ones," i.e.,
the song of victory shall be brought low by the destruction of
Babylon and the return of the Jews from captivity.

The "abominable branch" is a tree on which a malefactor has
been hanged (Isa. 14:19). The "highest branch" in Ezek. 17:3
represents Jehoiakim the king.

BRANCH. This is a metaphorical expression, which designates, in the
genealogy of a numerous family, a portion of that family which has sprang
from the same root or stock; these latter expressions, like the first, are
also metaphorical.
2. The whole of a genealogy is often called the genealogical tree; and
sometimes it is made to take the form of a tree, which is in the first place
divided into as many branches as there are children, afterwards into as many
branches as there are grand-children, then of great grandchildren, &c. If,
for example, it be desired to have a genealogical tree of Peter's family,
Peter will be made the trunk of the tree; if he has had two children, John
and James, their names will be written on the first two branches; which will
themselves shoot out as many smaller branches as John and James have
children; from these other's proceed, till the whole family is represented
on the tree; thus the origin, the application, and the use of the word
branch in genealogy will be at once perceived.
