Hebrew word used here is Timmor [8561], which is taken from its root Tamar [8558]. This word can be defined as that which is upright, in right standing, honorable, honest and just, and these are character traits of the Overcomers in Yeshua.

Palm trees remain resilient in very hot and arid climatic conditions and produces a wide range of products, from food to drink and edible oils. Symbolically palm trees are a picture of righteousness, jubilation, felicitation and worship (John 12:12-13; Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40).

This phase of reconstruction is taking place in the outer court or body as man presents himself unto the Lord as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto the Lord, which is his due diligence (Romans 12:1). As the regenerating and renewing work of Holy Spirit continues to transform man within, this perfecting work is demonstrated in his character for all to see.

Of much importance is the association of palm tree with Sukkoth,
