Claim-level biblical evidence review with contextual controls, canonical relationships, and preserved interpretive history.
How to read this entry
Evidence grades apply to individual claims, not to the headword as a whole. Strong biblical identification is kept separate from plausible or traditional interpretations, and unsupported proposals remain visible as negative evidence rather than being silently removed.
Fig as literal fruit/agricultural produce
Figs and fig products occur as ordinary food/agricultural produce in narrative texts.
Context control: Begin with literal botanical/agricultural use; apply Israel/Judah imagery only where context warrants it.
The Fig entry must preserve ordinary fruit/agricultural uses and must not treat every fig as a national symbol.
Grade 1: Explicit biblical interpretationScope: Begin with literal botanical/agricultural use; apply Israel/Judah imagery only where context warrants it.
Residual uncertainty: No material residual uncertainty beyond the stated scope limitation.
