"The Almond has been common to India, Persia and Palestine for thousands of years. The Israelites must have been very familiar with the Almond and its flowers because they used them as a model for ornamenting the cups of the golden lampstands (Exodus 25:33-34) while they were in the barren desert of Sinai where no Almonds grow. To this day the rock crystals used for decorating branched candlesticks are called "almonds" by English craftsmen.
Almonds are mentioned a total of six times in the Scriptures and only in the Old Testament. The first reference is in Genesis 43 where Jacob, in an apparent attempt to gain favor with the ruler of Egypt, orders his sons to take some of the "best products of the land" including almonds.
The almond motif was part of the divine design for the lampstand in the tabernacle (Exodus 25:33-34). Moses was instructed to make the bowls of the lampstand in the shape of the almond flower.
Probably the best-known reference to Almond is Aaron's rod (Numbers 17:8). It budded, flowered and produced fruit overnight! The Almond is therefore symbolic of the resurrection because it is the first tree to flower. A sign of new life and God’s promise."
